Kentucky is situated in an ideal spot where it experiences neither the extreme heat of the South nor the bitter cold of the Northern US. This means you can head out on motorcycle rides in KY almost year-long. The more mountainous regions, particularly the eastern side near the Appalachian Mountains can be cooler, so make sure you have a warm motorcycle jacket you can rely on. There may not be much in the way of snow in Kentucky, but it is a particularly rainy state almost all year round. Prepare for its regular storms by packing quality rain gear before you go.
Kentucky is bourbon country, and you may want to plan Kentucky motorcycle rides alongside the famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail between Louisville and Lexington. The state is also known for the most popular horse race in the world at the Kentucky Derby. While you're in Louisville, you can see the factory and museum of the world's most famous bat, the Louisville Slugger. Outside of the Kentucky's urban areas, mile after mile of scenic beauty awaits. The state is home to the biggest cave system in the world at Mammoth Cave. There are over 400 miles of caves surveyed in the network, and you can even take a tour to more remote areas that are lit only by paraffin lamps. When you're touring the western part of Kentucky, be sure to ride over into the Land Between The Lakes. This remote portion of the state is free from any towns or cities, and it might just be one of the quietest places you've ever been. Enjoy fishing, camping, bison and elk watching and off-roading in this unique park. Or simply cruise the winding roads through this unforgettable slice of rural America.
