recommendations for KY roads

[quicksilver]

I am wanting to make a run thru central Kentucky.

What are the "don't miss roads" between Louisville, Dayton, Lexington?

Thanks for the input. B)

 

[drjfjr]

Sent you an email. I ;have a couple of trips I make yearly in the area. 22 between owenton and Falmouth, 227 between owenton and stamping ground are two roads that I really like.

Hey, when you said KY roads, my first thought wasn't the state.

This one kind of loops you back up toward Indiana, but you should be able to plug it into your map software and make deviations if you would like to go towards Ohio- Dayton.

Let me know when you are planning to make a ride through, we can work out a trip, since you a shown me your road and it is time for me to show you my roads.

Thanks for the input. B)

Heres a trip for you, once you come over the bridge

I don't want to hi jack this thread but I was in Pikeville Ky on the weekend I spotted a Blue FJR in line waiting for gas.

Was that anybody on here? I wasn't close enough to tell if it was a 05 or an 06. The group I was with was leaving town after lunch.
