A few drops of rain but nothing major between Nashville and Lexington. Set out at about 8:30 but spent some time finding my way to 65 and then fighting some rush hour traffic. Hit the Blue Grass parkway by Elizabethtown and that was much better with very ittle traffic. Decided to take a detour to the Maker’s Mark distillery and that was some nice country road riding.

I declined the full tour as it was already a 2 hour sidetrack but did pick up a bottle of cask strength and dipped it myself feeling very much like the tourist I am. A nice dip if I do say so myself.

Was heading through Lexington and the rain started in earnest so ducked into a motel. Tomorrow is Morgantown West Virginia.
