Just got home from the Lexington trip.
It was a 780 mile round-trip, safe, trouble, moisture free journey!

THe guys coming up from TN got wet both ways (in TN) but we had a great day Saturday basically hanging out, going out to eat and we took a nice ride to Richmond and then back by the "Proud Mary" tavern on the river.
We went back in the early evening to eat and have a few dold ones (we had a D.D) but they were jam packed with a wait time of an hour (or so) so we decided to go back into town for dinner.

Many (nicer) places in town also had a "wait lines" so we ended up eat ing at Chili's.
Not bad. I had a great burger but not what I really what I had a taste for!

We "unanimously" voted to do a return trip to Paiit's (near Paducah) for next year's "Tri-cycle" get-together!, provided that we're all still here and the pandemic is history!

Patti's is great, you won't be disappointed. Head south from there just a few minutes and check out some buffalo, then head back home.

Yep! We went there a few year ago and everyone really liked it.
Next year we're gonna take an extra day (or two) and really see and tour the town.

Ride out to Falmouth, Mt. Olivet, both good little rides especially from Lexington. Or if your really feeling like a good long ride, head down to the Forbus General Store in Pall Mall, TN. All of those are good day rides.

There is a great little motel about 2 blocks from Pattis, call Grand Rivers Inn, I think. Great place to stay for bikers. Very clean. The pool was quite nice on the day we were there sweating all day.
