Motel to Motel plus Weekend Event with Bluegrass Cycling Club (BCC)
Saturday, May 17th to Monday, May 26th
TWO SPACES AVAILABLE: ONE MALE, ONE FEMALE, TO SHARE A ROOM WITH ROOM-MATE OF THE SAME SEX.
Reserve time for an exciting and scenic eight days of springtime cycling in Kentucky, enjoying rolling hills and smooth pavement. We will average about 80 km per day, using panniers to carry our clothes and other equipment. We start in Lexington and visit Paris, Mt. Sterling, Richmond, Berea, and Harrodsburg before returning to Lexington for the final Memorial Day Weekend. Here we join with BCC for their Horsey Hundred annual event which starts in Georgetown, a 15 minute drive away. Somewhat like our Cyclon, this event offers rides through the Bluegrass area, with distances between 42 km and 168 km (100 miles) to accommodate all riders. See www.bgcycling.net for more information. We will carpool from Toronto to Lexington, a 9-hour drive, all by Interstate.
