I'm located in Louisville...not exactly central KY, but it's close.

...and me! Are you originally from Georgetown too or did you move there?

Here's a couple of nice drives for your S4. (Forgive me if I'm preaching to the choir.)

Take west main street out of town and then turn right onto 227 at Great Crossing. Follow 227 through Stamping Ground. Stay on 227 and as you get beyond Stamping Ground, the road is nice and fairly straight with some sweeping turns for the next 3 to 4 miles. Once you reach Minorsville (which seems to be a sign without a town as far as I can tell) the road will start to get very curvy for the next 20 miles or so. You'll likely see a lot of motorcyclists.

227 will go into Owen County and when you come to the stop sign, turn right onto highway 22. 22 is a nice road, faster going than 227, with sweeping turns and nice straightaways. This will take you to I-75 and you can come home that way or you can turn around and do it all over again.


Another good Scott County drive is take the bypass north to highway 62. 62 will take you east into Harrison County, through Cynthiana, and on into Robertson County. Between Cynthiana and Mount Olivet in Robertson County the pavement is really nice and there lots of great curves. Once you get into Mason County (if you go that far) the road isn't so fantastic but it isn't bad either. If you want to you can go all the way to Maysville and take 68 back to Paris. It's more fun just to turn around and go back on 62.

A really great road atlas by the way is "Kentucky County Maps," which can be found downstairs at Joseph Beth Booksellers. I'm from Kentucky but I never knew about these roads until I got this atlas. Enjoy.

Not yet, but it looks good on the map! I hadn't noticed it before, but it looks like it would make a good way to connect the #22- #227 drive to the #62 drive.

My uncle took me down it in his 911, boy was that fun. Something like maybe old river road? It goes all the way from the suburbs to downtown louisville.

On my map 1230 runs along the river south into Bullitt County. There's also River Road, which runs north from Zorn Avenue along the river towards Glenview Heights.

Don't know of many in Louisville, but there are plenty in the southern Indiana area.
