Clydesdale in Horse Country

This weekend we went to Lexington, KY to visit friends. I rented a Specialized Sequoia from a local bike shop and went for a couple rides. Lexington is in what is called Bluegrass Country. It is also what I would call horse country. There are a ton of multi-million dollar horse farms surrounding Lexington. So not only did I get a good hill workout but the scenery was phenomenal. Rolling green grassy hills, black painted fences, thoroughbred horses, stables that look like mansions, and well paved roads. Best of all Lexington is a cycling community and motorists are used to seeing cyclists on the roads and are patient when passing. I felt very comfortable out riding on the roads. Overall it was a good weekend with a couple good hilly rides. I got 44 miles in on a holiday weekend away from home. It's 44 miles I normally wouldn't have gotten so I'll take it.
