Wow, is it ever hot here in Kentucky! Riding the Harley has become quite a challenge due to the heat. Typically, riding is a great way to stay cool on a hot day, especially when you are riding through the hills. In the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky you will usually find quite a few shaded roads that offer relief from the hot burning sun. However, with the heat index above 100, even the shaded roads offer little relief from the heat. Thus, we find ourselves hiding away in the comfort of our air conditioned home.

We took on the heat last Saturday, well at least for a couple of hours. The skies were cloudy when we began, which helped to ease the heat. However, after an hour of riding, the sun was in full body and the heat was on. Before we gave in and went back into summer hibernation, I did get pictures of a few great barns.

I am really hoping the heat will ease up soon, although the natives here say the worse is yet to come. It seems that traditionally, August in Kentucky is all about heat and dry, gee . . . can't wait!
