Thoroughbred Scenic Byway (176 Miles)

The Thoroughbred Scenic Byway isn't a real thing to my knowledge but it should be and this route should be what it consists of. On this route we took US 60 to Mount Sterling ate a couple Berryman's chili cheese dogs and rolled north on US 460 for miles on top of miles of nothing but beautiful Kentucky farm land with the occasional small community popping up out of the blue. We stopped in Paris for a bit to admire the architecture. After Paris we continued on through Georgetown (you better fill your gas tank before going any farther if on this route because it's a long time before you see another gas station). After passing through Georgetown we hopped on Iron Works Pike a road littered with all the Kentucky horse farms anyone could ask for, and a nice little restaurant (Windy Corner Market) that we happen to find while on our ride. Windy Corner Market has a great menu and is a welcome rest point for the hungry traveler with a great variety of food on the menu. After we eat we're on to more winding back roads and beautiful horse farms followed by some shortcuts to Judy Drive In near Mount Sterling. We Finish off our trip with leisurely ride back on US 60 to Morehead.

Things To Be Aware Of:

Farm Equipment
Crazy Drivers
One Way Streets
Lots Of Country Stop Signs

Honda Shop, Berryman's (160 Mile)

For this ride we opted to take the back roads towards Maysville do to the US 60 yard sale in order to avoid a lot of stop and go traffic. On this ride you cover a lot of rolling hills and river valleys with tons of beautiful farm land. there are a couple of areas under going construction in the Lewis/Flemming county areas on US 52 so mind that. We had decided to ride to Maysville in order to find my buddy a new helmet at the Maysville Honda shop (great shop by the way). We decided to head south toward Mount Sterling to introduce the same friend to the greatest chili cheese dog I've ever eaten. I ended up looking at the map on my phone for about 2 minutes and we had the idea to take back roads to Sharpsburg and head toward Mount Sterling, well long story short we ended up in Carlisle because we got lost (to me that's part of the fun) but we eventually made it back toward Mount Sterling and Berryman's.

On this map I added some more location other than Berryman's to introduce what I like to call the Kentucky Foodie Trail, there are a ton of good places to eat following US 60 basically from Olive Hill to Mount Sterling (I'm sure there are more, I've just not found them yet)
