This morning we jumped on our bikes at the crack of dawn, I think we left our house around 4:30am or so to go to Rising Sun Indiana to meet up with Aaron & Etta Childs for a day of riding.
We stopped for breakfast at the Cacker Barrel Restaurant off I-74 near Shelbyville, I was hungry and it was still a long ride ahead. I took some pictures while we were riding and it was a wonderful cool morning. Sitting on the back of a bike, you get to see so much beauty that surrounds you. You know I don't relax and think about my surroundings while being in a car. Being on the back of a motorcycle is just a different experience all the way around. I listen to the music and just sit back and relax. Here are a couple of pictures I took while riding to Rising Sun Indiana.

We made it to Rising Sun and met up with our friends. Here are a few pictures that I took, as you will see I'm kind of a camera nut and I take a lot of pictures.
After we met up with our friends, we decided to head out, with Aaron leading the way and us trailing behind we went over a bridge across to Kentucky to a little town called "Rabbit Hash" and i kid you not the town's mayor is a dog named "Lucy", this was a cute little hole in the wall town with lots to see and explore.
After visiting this town we headed south through Kentucky and we were getting hungry for lunch so we came across this restaurant overlooking the Ohio River, we stopped and ate, this place had an outside buffet which was pretty neat. By lunch time, the temperature was rising and it was HOT, an ice cold Pepsi was calling my name. After lunch we headed out again continuing south was came to a Lock, we called this the "Damn Lock, with the Damn employee in the Damn drive-thru", this was very interesting as I have never been on an actual lock ever before. This was neat because we got to walk up to an observation deck in one of the towers and man what a site to see.

So we left here and headed back over another bridge back into a town called Madison, we continue on some back country roads that were twisty and full of fun, this patch took us across southern Indiana, to the back southern side of Columbus, IN and then on to Nashville and back east . We ended up in Trafalgar, IN and somehow got a little lost and this was a good thing, it gave us a chance to see some country side with curves and the promise of a nice Summer on it's way and showing that it was in full swing, this was a very hot day but was a very enjoyable day of riding. This was my first day trip of the year. Hope everyone enjoys reading this blog and looking at pictures, this is my first blog so any suggestions are welcome.
