The ride will have sections that go through subdivisions, on the shoulder of Harrodsburg Road, on 2 lane country roads, and on a bike trail. We will be on the shoulder of Harrodsburg Road for part of the ride. This shoulder is as wide as normal lane.
It is May so we be gaining daylight. Rain, lightning, or high winds could cancel, watch for ride changes on the website and on Facebook.
