Go figure!
I was looking forward to seeing my friends, Kim and Craig Kotzen, and finally getting a chance to ride the incredible Million Dollar Highway.
From the first day I started riding, my biker brothers and sisters have been telling me of all the great places to ride, and the “must do” events.
The Million Dollar Highway was on that list.

Dodging the Roadkill: Mammoth Cave National Park
Central Kentucky – On a recent trip to Northern Kentucky, I decided to take a quick “ride through” of Mammoth Cave National Park. I had passed by it several times on previous trips, but had never ventured off to see it first hand. If you’re a biker, (and you probably are) you HAVE to ride this magnificent park.
