What a beautiful ride! Kudos to the route planners! I used to create rides for our club and know how hard it is! We spray painted arrows for every turn on the roads, too! Thanks!

Brings back great memories of riding the Metric Century last year. I'm not sure of the temps your encountered but, last year, they topped out at 113 on the road. I managed 4 of the 5 Metrics in '22 and plan to hit all 5 Centuries next year. Great video and hope to see you on the road next time!

Another beautiful video! How do you select the music? It always fits perfectly? Any chance you might check out the Lexington horse country roads? Spent some time there - many, many, many years ago - riding a bike around. It was beautiful country then. Hope your shoulder continues to get better.

I'm glad you think the music fits perfectly. I have a bunch of royalty music from the KZfaq library, pick from it, and then try my best to edit it so that it fits. I wasn't very good at it at first, but it has gotten easier with practice. As for checking out the Lexington horse country roads, I live in Frankfort, and can do rides from my front door into horse country. If you'd like to see an example of that, here's my favorite 50 miler, which I designed to start and and at the Kentucky State Capitol, which is a block from my house. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8hmhMqWzLjFY6s.htmlsi=jbDv1V-0luG9YzZu

So did you guys stop anywhere to have some Kentucky whiskey or bourbon and listen to some local bluegrass groups?

Hey man! I am planning on moving to pikeville KY soon. Is the cycling any good there?

Good question. I haven't gotten to ride in Pike County yet, so I don't really know. There's great mountain biking in Prestonsburg, which is close by and not one, but two rail trails in neighboring counties. I'd suggest connecting with the local bike shop (which there may actually be one in Pikeville, but if not, there is definitely one in Prestonsburg) and get suggestions of where to ride from them.

I live here in McLean Co and didn't hear a word about this event until the day of when I passed a few riders on the road. Is there somewhere I can go that has future rides in KY? I mostly ride alone and would love join a group ride

Would you say this ride is mostly flat?
@KentuckyCycling
@KentuckyCycling 11 ай бұрын
I would say that the first half of the ride is mostly flat, but the second half is hillier. See the Ride With GPS route in the KZfaq description for an elevation profile. Several years ago, when the ride was called the "Bourbon and Bluegrass Ride", it was pretty flat. I can point you to that route, if you are looking for a flatter version to ride. This version was hillier, but also has more variety so overall, it's arguably more interesting.
