Don ( Highbinder ) and I plan on ridin' into Bardstown,Kentucky this coming friday 11-27 to do alittle scouting for the June " The Whiskey Run " . We are meeting at The Loves Travel Center at exit 95 off I-75 in Richmond ,Kentucky just south of Lexington ( 12:00 noon eastern ) . We plan to check on the motel and best roads for the planned ride when folk's join us this June .This area has become famous with its Bourbon Trail. Would love to see the numbers we had last June for " The Blue / Gray Ride " to Gettysburg , Pennsylvania. You folks that joined us then think about coming to " The Whiskey Run " we had a outstanding group of folks from all over America and Canada on that ride . Anyone wanting to ride off the turkey fat this friday are welcome to come scout the area with us we will be spending the night in Bardstown and should be rollin' in that evening.If you would like to hook up in route let me know or meet us in Richmond at The Loves Travel Center or Bardstown for the over-night...Bring It...LET'S RIDE   |

That would be great Dave it's a " GO " on our end so I hope to see you there.You plan on coming to Richmond at noon or meeting in Bardstown ? Watching the Colts play right now ( its rainin' here ) y'all really lucked out last week with that 4th down call ??? I did'nt know until today that the Colt fans don't like to be called " Colts " and prefer Indy  .... Good luck to Indy my team sucks this year so I'd like to see either the Colts are Steelers make it to the big dance. |

I don't mind cool even cold is ok with me as long as its not wet and cold ....I don't follow basketball or baseball for that matter so I'd much rather be on my bike as watching either... Good luck to Kentucky .Forecast calls for highs near 50 ...That's almost perfect  |

Check out 31E unless its outta the way. Its a KY scenic route. Leaves outta Bardstown and goes the back way to Cave City where Mammoth Cave is. Been on it a couple of times. I think it goes by Lincolns birth place.

Joe, if I can make it I will come straight down to Bardstown. Let me know if you or Don need anything scouted out on the northern end. I am within 70-150 miles of most of this ride, and will help you guys out any way I can.

I'm not sure how Highbinder plans to route the ride I'm guessing we'll figure that out when we sit down at the motel on friday night.I don't have the motel name at this point Don said he thinks its changed names since he was there. Just look for the Valkyries |

Dave....the hotel we're looking to stay at is where the Blue Grass Pkwy and 31E cross, I believe it was a Days Inn.....if you're coming down around Ft. Knox and the Patton Museum you could check that out for us....be good to see ya again....I'm thinking we'll be arriving there around 2-3 pm on friday....

Don't miss Buffalo Trace on the north side of Frankfort. Nice tasting room. The WhiteDog is great and they hopefully still will have some Sarzenics Rye. |

It's looking like I will be a "no-go" for this run. We ended keeping the granddaughter overnight tonight as my wife ended up not having to work Friday. The only time I have available would be Saturday during the day, and you guys will be heading away. Don and Joe, I will still scout the Patton museum and anything else you need later on this next Spring. Have a good ride and be safe.
