I think we jumped the gun a bit with our last post - we should have explained that we're in the USA researching great riding roads & places to visit in & around Tennessee, Kentucky, & Georgia for a new tour we are planning for 2011.

We also should have explained that we are novices at all this blogging mularkey, & not very 'teccy' at all, so please excuse us if we fluff it now & again - as we have already! Anyway, please read on ...

We had a couple of days driving, with overnight stops in Paducah (world famous for quilting, no less!) & another in Renfro Valley (home of country music, apparently) but I don't think we'll incorporate those places into a tour, well, quilting isn't really a hobby for roughty-toughty bikers, (unless they keep that very quiet!) & the home of country music seemed to be not much more than a few barns, & not very rock 'n' roll at all. And apart from crossing the Mississippi on a ferry boat, the roads & scenery weren't much to write home about either. But they do have metal bridges over the Ohio River painted in the most shade of blue, & Dot was quite taken with them!
