Left this morning and instead of cutting south a few miles to get back on 60 went straight. This had us going across the Mississippi River into Illinois then south across the Ohio River into Kentucky.
Then right back onto 60 which runs along the Ohio River and the Indiana border. The road then will dive deeper into Kentucky through forests with active logging, twisting and turning back to farm land. Then you come upon huge houses with front yards measured in multiple acres and beautiful green fields.
With the exception of the last one hundred miles today it was once again all two lane road. Some times nice wide lanes with paved shoulders other times a narrow aging road with no shoulders and very little traffic. With a few clouds and a temperature of 70 it was another perfect day to ride. Finished the day a little east of Louisville, towards West Virginia tomorrow.
I know this sounds repetitious with the last posts but it isn't to us. Riding with friends on great roads with ever changing scenery never gets old or repetitious.
Finally for you fellow Simpsons fans. A few days ago we were in Springfield, we are currently in Shelbyville and passed through Simpsonville just before Shelbyville.
