Beautiful ride through Fayette and Clark Counties of KY. My favorite.
Athens-Boonesboro Rd -- Ford Rd -- Four Mile Rd -- Bybee Rd.
Along the way: Hall's on the River, the Kentucky river in general, Boonesboro Dam and Lock, Ford, KY (used to be the home of a large power plant), beautiful Four Mile Rd, which follows beautiful Four Mile Creek. Then, up Bybee Rd to the outskirts of Winchester, KY.
Tech:
2019 Indian FTR 1200 S
Insta360 ONE X2
Akaso EK7000 Action Cam (not recommended)
Zoom H1n in saddle bag to capture engine sound
Edited in Davinci Resolve Studio

About the Ride
Please check out http://gravelmap.com, which is how I discovered the road in this installment. Highly recommended!
Paytons Ridge Road is a gravel road surrounded by woods in Owen County, KY. I found it on gravelmap.com. Its one of the shorter trips from Lexington, so I decided to check it out.
Takeaway: while the wooded gravel road is pleasant (except for some deeper gravel sections), ultimately, Paytons Ridge Road is a disappointment for motorcycling. Along the way there were private and no trespassing signs, but they were facing directly at the road, which I interpret as stay off my property, as opposed to turn back. However, after about a mile I discovered a No Trespassing sign more obviously facing road users, which made me decide to turn around.
