Over The Creek...

...and through the farms, down The Legacy Trail to the Cracker Barrel we go.

The weather has been outstanding these last few days.  And since it's really hard to prepare a nice Thanksgiving dinner yourself without breaking the no-more-than-three-ingredients rule (my gold standard for appropriate cooking), my friend Susan and I* picked fun, friends and someone else cooking and cleaning up as our three ingredients and met in Lexington to ride our bikes down The Legacy Trail.

This beautiful trail was put in a couple years ago and opened just before the WEG.  We picked it up just outside the Kentucky Horse Park and headed towards downtown.

It runs through much of UK's ag farm(s) and cuts back and forth over the Cane Run Watershed.  The bridges are fantastic, all different.

And scattered throughout were beautiful street paintings.

This doesn't really show up well - sorry - but inside each net/web box is a beautiful evergreen tree.  I'm not sure what they're researching, but it was interesting to see and think on.

The trail passes under the interstate.

And through a variety of farms.  This is a tobacco barn.  Look closely.  See the two green(ish) clumps near the top of the middle tree?  Do you know what that is?

We cut off the trail and picked up Newtown Pike for a short way.

And ended up at a Cracker Barrel, ate a Thanksgiving meal that couldn't be beat and then we rode back.

A Happy Thanksgiving :-D. 

Every day!

* Saint Tim enjoyed a home cooked meal with his family in Illinois.  I stayed home to take care of the farm and help out at the dog trial this weekend at The Training Center.
