I waited for the fog to clear this morning and then headed north on KY11 from Barbourville KY. I ended up in Aberdeen OH.
On the way up I took a detour through the Red River Gorge. I could not get any good photos at the Nada Tunnel due to all the other tourists in the way. The road was very slick in the tunnel and the bike was not happy. I thought I was about to lose the front end four or five times.
On the return trip I took US62 to Cynthiana. That was some awesome scenery as the road wound through the hilly farm land. It was very windy, but the CTX seemed to handle it OK.
I took back roads down to Paris and then to Corbin via Richmond. By the time I got home the winds had died down to almost nothing.
The ride was right around 400 miles for the day. I'll have to work tomorrow, so that's it for the weekend.
I will have had the bike four weeks this coming Monday. Between all the distractions like work, yard work, and riding the other bike, I've still managed to put 2045 miles on the CTX. So far we've made it to six states. Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, and Ohio.
