Horsey Hundred
Who is going? Leave Friday afternoon and return Sunday night
2008 - Experience Kentucky’s Bluegrass on a BICYCLE!
The 31st running of the Horsey Hundred is taking place May 23-25 2008, in Georgetown, Kentucky. Grab your bike and join us won't you?
We challenge you to the full Horsey Hundred - our century route on Saturday that will take you over a wide range of terrain typical of the Bluegrass. On Sunday, you have the option of riding the streets of Paris… Kentucky! So saddle up bike riders and join us on the Horsey! Spring is a beautiful time to ride in the Bluegrass.
Saturday routes are all new, with distances of approximately 35, 55, a hilly 3/4 Century, a flatter 3/4 Century, and the Horsey Hundred. All lunches Saturday will be at historic and beautiful Keeneland Race Course. Sunday’s routes will take you in a different direction for 37, 52 and through Paris on the 70-mile loop. All routes loop back to the start each day. Recommended starting times, between 8 and 10 a.m. are listed on the route maps. The Horsey Hundred is not a race.
The Horsey is tandem friendly with its rolling hills and well maintained roads.
Registration price includes maps, rest stop snacks, lunches, road support and the ice cream social with a great prize giveaway. Limit is 2,000 riders. Riders under 18 years of age must be accompanied by parent or guardian who must sign the minor’s registration form. Payment MUST be sent in with the Registration Form(s) if registering by mail.

We're not going to make it to Horsey Hundred. We're going to Family Weekend at Sabra.
By the way, I got a reminder card for Tornado Alley (the one that goes thru MO, KS, and others). Remember, last yr was first yr on 7/7/07. This yr it's on 7/12/08, so we'll miss it. We'll be in Blue Ridge. Maybe next yr.

I'm definitly a go for Horsey Hundred. I have not made any reservations for hotels or for the ride, but will get it together soon - maybe this weekend.
If we leave Friday night, we can travel to just east of Louisville. That will take about 5hours with 1 or 2 stops. If we go about 30-40 miles east of Louisville, we would be less than an hour from the start of the ride on Saturday. Or we could go the extra hour (6 hours on Friday) and just go on into the town where the ride is. I'm good either way. Any suggestions?
The ride is pretty casual, with a pretty wide open window for start time. But it is 100 miles on the long route, so you don't want to be too late.
There is a one hour time change against us going over to the ride.
Sunday I thought we'd shoot for the 70 mile route. If we have our act together we can be done around 1 or 2, and then get in the car to head home. With the time gain, we can be back in Saint Louis before dark. That way we get plenty of sleep so we can be fresh for the Monday Pizza Ride in Saint Louis.
