CANCELLED: Motel to Motel plus Weekend Event with Bluegrass Cycling Club (BCC)
Saturday, May 21th to Monday, May 30th

We will average about 80 km per day, with a SAG wagon to carry ONE moderate-sized piece of luggage per person. We start in Lexington and visit Paris, Mt. Sterling, Richmond, Berea, Harrodsburg before returning to Lexington for the final two days to participate in Bluegrass Cycling Club's Horsey Hundred weekend. Those weekend rides start from Georgetown, a 15 minute drive from Lexington. Weekend distances are between 42 km to 168 km, so everyone is accommodated. See www.horseyhundred.com for details.
We will carpool from Toronto to Lexington, a 10 hour drive, all by Interstate.
Note the 4th day includes the option for a short ride of 27 km, instead of 88 km, to give you an easy day and a chance to rest and explore Berea, a pretty college town.
