Wednesday, August 24
The weather has settled down and it is cooler, as we head North, with the daytime high around 33c vs 44c, and overnight it drops to 24c.
Today we are heading for another Bourbon Distillery called Buffalo Trace [http://www.buffalotrace.com/] in Frankfort, KY which is also the state capital. This place is hugh, with a number of impressive turn of the century buildings and of course a selected source of "bourbon water" which is the secret ingredient in this whole process.

After a quick lunch at Buffalo Trace Cafe, we are on our way to Athens, OH, there was no particular reason to stop in Athens, other than it was 500km from Bardstown and we usually ride for 500km per day.
We are going to take I-64 again, and branch off to Ironton, OH on US60, Ashland, KY has two bridges over the Ohio River, one painted Green and the other one painted Blue, reason for the two colours ?? just another mystery from the road. After crossing into Ohio we are on some good twisties on OH93.
With all the excitement of Buffalo Trace, this made of another long day in the saddle and we were both glad to see the Holiday Inn Express come into sight in Athens.
Now no epic motorcycle journey would be complete without at least one official photograph, so here is the last one of the trip.
(I think that Ben might have had one too many - but this a road trip)
