Day 6 372 miles
John and I parted company this morning, headed to our respective homes and families.
The hotel we stayed in graciously let us park our bikes under the entry out front, VIP treatment for the bikers! It was a cool, sunny, ideal morning for riding.
I found West Virginia to be an amazingly beautiful area to ride through. I64 goes through mountains, valleys, tunnels, sweeping curves, next to rivers--just awesome the whole way! I have become aware that people are much more apt to engage a biker in conversation--where have you been? where you headed? etc. I have enjoyed talking to many people along the way.
My stopping point for this night was a suburb of Lexington, KY called Verailles, where my long time friend from Boy Scouts and High School resides--Brent. Brent and his wife welcomed me into their home for a wonderful dinner, a nice driving tour of the fancy horse farms (I didn't have my camera with me in his car), and a pleasant evening of conversation on their peacefull back porch. Sure was good to be with them!
