Welcome, yamatech.
I know Cherrygryphon and KZsall are from the Winchester area. I don't live in KY myself (Ontario Canada here), but find myself in the Red River Gorge area on at least once annual climbing trips (though I've never made the trip on my bike...)
Speaking of the Red, there's an event coming up really soon there (I think it's the weekend of the 20th?) called the Spring Thaw. Check out that postand, if you can make it, you'll be sure to meet a few of the kids from the forum AND have a great weekend of riding. Two birds, one stone!
