Our stop for lunch on Saturday will be at the http://www.brasslanternrestaurant.com/ . I have been going there for years, the owners are wonderful. They are not usually open for lunch but they are doing it for us. They have put together a "plan ahead" menu for us. Please look for the menu in the above thread and email (connie9003@gmail.com) me your choices for lunch. We need to give them a heads up on what we would like and how many of us there will be.

Choose between; chopped steak with green peppers/onions or chicken picatta
Then Choose two out of the three sides: mashed potatoes, broccoli and Caesar salad
Let me know If you would like Mushrooms for a $1.50 Upcharge.
Drink $2.00




After lunch we have an OPTIONAL ride to see one of LBL's hidden treasures. https://www.explorekentuckylake.com/explorations/Ststevens.htm The reason I say optional is it involves a 1.8 mile gravel road. Wasn't sure how many of you wanted to take your spyders off roading. I have been told this is a must see. I was able to do a dry run and it is really cool.

Trace N 12.5 Miles R at Hwy 117
4.2 Miles to Hwy 122 (Bethlehem Cemetery) Turn R
go .5 Miles to GRAVEL ROAD on left Turn L
Church is 1.8 miles

We will be creeping down this road to make sure we don't damage our bikes or kick up as little dust as possible.

For those of you who do not wish to go on the optional Off road adventure. Make your first stop in LBL at the welcome station to find out all the sites to see on the paved roads. Just don't forget dinner @ 6:30 :)

Our dinner reservations for Saturday night 6:30 is at a new establishment in Murray. We have a whole room to our selves and our own servers :) https://www.facebook.com/Tap-216-1410766455902377/timeline/

Moving the base to Murray sounds good. We can all stay at your house, right?

Instead of just riding the Trace, how about some of the paved side roads in LBL? I rode a few of them on my return trip back to KY from Illinois the end of last October and liked it.

And that liquor at the Lake Barkley side on 68 to stock up on Apple Sin.

One other thing we need to do this time is take up a collection for all your hard work and effort.

Bring tents who ever can't fit in the house or camper can camp in the yard. No collection needed glad to do it. I can defiantly incorporate back roads of LBL in our ride.

Count me in for the Oct run at Lake Barkely.

Who remembers who won the door prize "Spyder Cover" last year ?

Also for those who came last year Keep the Distillery in your prayers for those who don't know. There was an explosion and one young man died and the second has 80% burns. He is now home recovering and doing as well as can be expected. They bent over backwards for us last year So just say a few words on their FB Page maybe if you can to keep up there spirits. My understanding is they are planning on rebuilding.

If you google for "average temperature october murray ky" you will get page after page of information on climate for Murray. The one I chose to look at said 72 - 49 so an average of 60°F. I live 150 miles due west of Murry and October is one fine month for riding.

Tax and all for two nights is $160. I'm pretty excited about that too. Btw...my brothers name is Rick Martin. In case you want a name. 😎

If Someone can volunteer to Lead the "Spirited Riders" that would be awesome. I will have the route easily mapped out with our stops and "meeting" points so we will catch up each time. That will give the other half plenty of time to catch up. We will need a few minutes at our site seeing spots for my Surprise :))))

Ok right now I have the morning mapped out with some AWESOME roads its about 125 mile from start to lunch and it will include a few site seeing stops and take about 4 hours with a Fuel stop after 90 ish miles. Now that being said do you want me to add to that for the afternoon or do we want to take that time to be able to see all the attractions in Land Between the Lakes ? They have "The Home Place" the "Nature Station" and a few other interesting places to visit. So we can do those as a group and finish our day out that way or I can plan more miles. What are your thoughts. http://www.kentuckylake.com/lbl/attractions.shtml

When searching look around the Murray, Aurora, Golden Pond area. Those that camp in LBL you can meet us when we cross the bridge instead of driving all the way to Murray then back. It is beautiful camping there. Try to stay near the 68/80 & Trace intersection. LBL is a LARGE place and if you get to far north or south in either direction you could end up with a longer ride that expected. :)

Ok so something cool happened. 1) my plan for Saturday night dinner fell through, made me sad.So I went back to where our Friday night reservation were to book it for Saturday as well, turns out no dice our room was already spoken for. So I'm like GREAT 3 weeks away and I can't find a place for us to eat (up to my expectations that is) so my brain wonders I'm like now what ???? Then I remembered this little place by the college and I thought hey I'll just look. Well it had gone our of business. But low and behold a new bigger place had taken its place . So I go in and they said thier event person was off that day and she would have to call me back. So she did and I stopped by after work and low and behold .........OMG they are giving us our own bar/restaurant. They are providing us with our own private bar tender and we'll as our own servers and we have the whole second half of the restaurant to our selves. It was great ! So I have a feeling if you guys give it the thumbs up it may be a reg stop in our little adventure. I'm so excited.

Ok some of you asked about Camp Grounds. I have not been to this camp grounds personally but location wise it is a good spot. I would call ahead and ask about availability and size of rig etc. I can not verify condition of grounds, staff attitude or anything. I may go take a look at it this weekend since is right down from my house by the looks on the map.

Ok I went by the previous mentioned camp grounds and 1) I messaged them and finally heard back from them it would be $50.00 for the weekend Friday thru Sunday. The lady that owns the camp grounds is very nice and was very helpful. 2) If you are looking for a "oh it was s beautiful I cant wait to go back" site this is not it.....but they are a new campground just getting started so who knows if we support them they may be able to grow. Yes it is still in a good location BUT depending on your size rig it could be CHALLENGING to get in an out. not impossible. Hope this helps.

The other option in LBL which I do recommend is Wranglers Campgrounds. Not to far off 68/80 beautiful grounds good facilities, lots of different types of hook ups and can handle big rigs (Call ahead to make sure if you have a big rig that the site you choose can handle it. It's about a 15-20 minute drive from Murray. http://www.landbetweenthelakes.us/seendo/camping/wranglers-campground/

2) also just a note since we are such a large party "Tom's grill" has asked us to go to a Limited menu. So I picked the best of the best ! Our choices will be Demetries chicken which is my favorite, Pork chop or Cajun shrimp alfredo. I DO NOT NEED THAT CHOICE LOL.

3) if you are on the confirmed list but know you can not make the ride please let me know so I can keep accurate to the best of my abilities numbers for the restaurants.

Thank you all and ........1 more week !!! I'm ready !!

Lots of fun and Connie has good rides for us. This is a fun event to go to, more like a big family outing. We will see you there.

Hey hey I am still missing lots of choices for Lunch. I am suppose to get this turned in tonight. If I don't hear from you soon I can not guarantee that you will get your "Choice" for lunch. We will have to guestimate what the remaining people will want. it will be wonderful and you will be fed lol but we could run out of what you want. When you email me please include your names and SL ID's its hard for me to keep track of who is who so if I have both that would be GREAT. Thank you very much.

Our stop for lunch on Saturday will be at the http://www.brasslanternrestaurant.com/ . I have been going there for years, the owners are wonderful. They are not usually open for lunch but they are doing it for us. They have put together a "plan ahead" menu for us. Please look for the menu in the above thread and email (connie9003@gmail.com) me your choices for lunch. We need to give them a heads up on what we would like and how many of us there will be.

Choose between; chopped steak with green peppers/onions or chicken picatta
Then Choose two out of the three sides: mashed potatoes, broccoli and Caesar salad
Let me know If you would like Mushrooms for a $1.50 Upcharge.
Drink $2.00




After lunch we have an OPTIONAL ride to see one of LBL's hidden treasures. https://www.explorekentuckylake.com/explorations/Ststevens.htm The reason I say optional is it involves a 1.8 mile gravel road. Wasn't sure how many of you wanted to take your spyders off roading. I have been told this is a must see. I was able to do a dry run and it is really cool.

Trace N 12.5 Miles R at Hwy 117
4.2 Miles to Hwy 122 (Bethlehem Cemetery) Turn R
go .5 Miles to GRAVEL ROAD on left Turn L
Church is 1.8 miles

We will be creeping down this road to make sure we don't damage our bikes or kick up as little dust as possible.

For those of you who do not wish to go on the optional Off road adventure. Make your first stop in LBL at the welcome station to find out all the sites to see on the paved roads. Just don't forget dinner @ 6:30 :)

Our dinner reservations for Saturday night 6:30 is at a new establishment in Murray. We have a whole room to our selves and our own servers :) https://www.facebook.com/Tap-216-1410766455902377/timeline/
I'm looking forward to trying out the new place. I went in there and checked it out it looks like we will fit right in. :)

Hello to all ! I am trying to work on finalizing numbers and details for this years ride. So far the numbers are WAY DOWN. So i wasnt sure if anyone had missed the new thread or if maybe last year stunk and no one wants to come back :( I only have about ( that i can count) 20 people signed up for this year. So if you are planning on attending PLEASE EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW. Our numbers determine everything about the ride. I love it when people just show up but if I plan for 20 and 50 show it can be an issue or the same the other way around. So if you dont mind to take a minute and email me and let me know even if you are thinking about it id love to hear from you. connie9003@gmail.com Thank you in advance
