Men's Fall Trip... pics added complete

[the Ferret]

Perfect map Cormanus..very cool! Look at all those squiggles.

Day 4 is now in the books. A little warmer this morning low 53 and this afternoon 79. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer yet.

Had another good ride plotted out ( yellow loop) and it turned out even better than we had hoped.
For Cormanus.. From hotel headed east on 956 to 25. 25 north to Richmond. At Richmond we grabbed 52 east. 52 started out a boring 4 lane, dropped to a boring 2 lane then turned into a carnival ride of twist turns up and downs for the next 30 miles or so. Great road. We took 52 to 30 at Quicksand, and took 30 north ( another great road) to the Bert Combs Mtn Parkway. The parkway was open and mostly flat but still kind of cool. Clean and wooded on both sides it was like an expressway thru a forest.We took the Parkway west and exited the parkway at Rt 11 and took an amazing 11 south past Natural Bridge State Park to Beattyville to 52, and then took 52 west back through the awesome carnival ride , then boring 2 lane and boring 4 lane to 25 at Richmond, and 25 south to 956 west back to the hotel. Great day of riding! Total miles for today was 242.

Total mileage for the 3 days so far is 899 (about 99 of those straight and 800 of them curvy). At dinner we were discussing which state is better for riding, West Virginia or this part of Kentucky. We declared a tie, and just thankful that we have gotten to ride in them both.
