Downtown Cincinnati (KLUK).... a short hop for me but better than driving, as there is no direct route, and driving there seems to take forever. a nice day but very warm for mid-April in Cincy, 30C (86F), with sweat in my eyes for takeoff from LUK. the old terminal at LUK closed when they closed the restaurant there about three years ago. I used to go there all the time. the word from the FBO is that it is going to be refurbished. we will see, but I saw in the paper that CVG is going to take over management of LUK. the bike trail connects at the airport. it is somewhat grimey around there, sewer plant, salvage yards, etc. but it's not bad and cleans up quickly as you move towards downtown. downtown Cincy is nice! a lot of people were out and about. my lucky water bottle went missing for about 3 hours but found me again. two Snickers bars and bottle of water = $2. a very good day! I needed to get back to push the grass before the rains come again tomorrow.
hey, the Ohio River is Big Water! you can ride the bike trail from here all the way across Ohio to Cleveland.
the Liberte' was perfect.
