Well, I recommend Eastern Kentucky and have a few suggestions: MapQuest directions have been sent to you by Rams. To view your map, click on the link below or copy and paste it to your browser: http://mapq.st/1F3sWPH From: Dry Ridge, KY US To: Maysville, KY US To: Paintsville, KY US To: Berea, KY US To: Nicholasville, KY US To: Frankfort, KY US For DRIVING DIRECTIONS, click the link. TOTAL ESTIMATED TIME: 7 hours 34 minutes | DISTANCE: 358.11 miles If you decide to end up in Frankfort, let me know. Heck, I can even put you up for the night if you need a place to stay in Frankfort. Several of us (Valkyrie riders) will be meeting in Frankfort and riding up to the DRU at noon on Friday. We'll be taking a few curvy/twisty roads to get there.  The aforementioned roads are not necessarily challenging or dangerous unless you're not paying attention. There are several curvy, twisty roads on this route(s).

But, if you insist on Western Kentucky, I recommend these roads: MapQuest directions have been sent to you by Rams. To view your map, click on the link below or copy and paste it to your browser: http://mapq.st/1Ogt7d8 From: Dry Ridge, KY US To: Frankfort, KY US To: Radcliff, KY US To: Shepherdsville, KY US To: Shelbyville, KY US To: Frankfort, KY US For DRIVING DIRECTIONS, click on the link. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL ESTIMATED TIME: 5 hours 18 minutes | DISTANCE: 242.74 miles Again, I brought you back to Frankfort on this route but, the choice is yours. Enjoy and ride safe. BTW, regardless of where you ride in Kentucky, watch out for Forest Rats (Deer).

Well dang, didn't meant to kill the thread. The man asked so, I gave him some pretty good roads to ride. Lost on Broadway? Find a local bar and then call me. I'll come pick you up and we'll go from there. Not sure if you can get there from here but, if it rains, it won't matter.

Brad, There's a group leaving Frankfort at noon headed north. Check your PMs and give me a call in the morning if you are interested in riding up with us. I was up in Madison tonight, already a few Valkyries present and accounted for. Met Terry and Dagwood, both were a pleasure to meet. Looking forward to meeting the rest of this bunch. To those who asked me to bring something "special". It's already there.  Ron

Just got home from The Dragon Round Up. One of the best organized motorcycle events I've been to. The roads were great, the friends/family were wonderful. Rainman and Gavin did an excellent job of working out the details. Thanks Steve and Gavin. I sincerely appreciate the effort you went to. Until next time, ride safe.  Ron

We also just got home. This was biggest ride yet, on saturday we had 64 bikes on the ride. A little drizzle a few times and a little rain during our lunch stop, but over all a great day. These things could not happen without you guys. Thanks for putting in the miles. Hope it's even better next year.

This was a great event , wish I would have had more time to spend and the ride was the best 1 yet . Steve goes to a lot of work putting this on and it shows by the distance people travel to be there . Was cool to see the bike "ALI" and talk to DDT about it 1st hand . What a great story there . Ive noticed that a lot of other brand bike forums come and go but the VRCC is still a thriving group . Hope everyone got home safe !

What a GREAT weekend!!! Thanks to Rainman for setting this up. This was Monica and my first Round-up and it won't be our last. It was a great time, the weather was (mostly) excellent!! And it was good meeting the folks...seeing old friends...and making new ones. For us, it was a 798.5 mile weekend...and we only hit a total of 8 miles of interstate. The back roads through Illinois and Indiana were fabulous!!! Here are a few pictures I took from the ride on Saturday. http://s412.photobucket.com/user/JoeValkIS/slideshow/2015%20Dragon%20Round-Up
