Day 58 – Kentucky River Campground, Frankfort, KY to Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, KY

10/8/20026

Misty morning along the Kentucky River

This relatively short route of 32.1 miles with 2100 ft of elevation gain went by more and larger horse farms with many horses grazing in their paddocks. We also passed some goats as we climbed out of the campground by the river. This was Rolf’s turn to drive and Greg rode with him as he was feeling under the weather.

We planned to stay at Kentucky Horse Park campground, but when Rolf arrived it was very busy and the minimum campsite reservation was for 5 days. So we quickly changed plans to stay at the Fairfield Inn a few miles away.

The day was perfect for biking, blue skies and lovely rural scenery. Unfortunately, the road was narrow with no shoulder for nearly the entire ride. John & Mark feared for their lives most of the time. But drivers were generally courteous and waited until they could pass us safely. Not too many pictures, we were busy staying on the road and not being hit.
