A Little Damp But Not Bad


Day 3
Raining when we got up so a leisurely breakfast was the order of the day then at 10 we pulled on our rain suites and followed Glenn south on highway 23 to Pikesville to visit a railroad museum.   Everything was great until the last left which immediately turned into a “Glenn road” meaning very narrow, tight hairpin turns, and uphill and down.  Then the road, if you could call it that, split and half the group was too far back to see that we went right.  They stopped and we heard Ken say “we have a little problem; we don’t know which way you went.”  I heard someone say left and then someone corrected that and said we went right.  Well 3 came right and the other 3 went left; we waited and laughed and waited until finally the last 3 bikes showed up.   The road to the left was just as bad as the one we were on but it was a dead-end so they were forced to come back our way.   Thank goodness no one dropped their bike.  Ok down off this mountain road right in town and we stop for lunch at Hardees and then head out to find some back roads and head back to Paintsville to find the Country Music Highway Museum.  The weather called for 80% chance of rain but all morning the skies were sunny and clear however, they suddenly turned dark and the rain started but within an hour or so the sky cleared again.  Hope tomorrow is clear because we will be riding the Red River Gorge.  Dinner at 5:15 and then 2 and a half hours in the hot tub and the pool round out the day.
