By Knox van Nagell | October 24th, 2010 | See all in Events, Fayette Alliance Blog, Past Events

The Fayette Alliance and The Bluegrass Cycling Club and sponsors Wallace Station, Windy Corner Market, Good Foods Market & Cafe, and Fitness Plus present the 2nd Annual Bike for the Bluegrass.

‘

‘
On Saturday, October 30th 200 cyclists gathered at Fasig Tipton for the exclusive opportunity to ride through some of the most beautiful farms in the Bluegrass and to raise money to support The Fayette Alliance.  In its second year, Bike for the Bluegrass was an incredible success.  The Annual Bike for the Bluegrass is a remarkable opportunity for you to experience some of the most renowned thoroughbred farms in the Bluegrass from the back of your bike.  Riders have an inside look at the unparalleled natural beauty, history, and “nuts and bolts” of our signature equine industry, while helping fund the mission of The Fayette Alliance. As a gesture of support for The Fayette Alliance, Fasig Tipton, Gainesway, Mt. Brilliant, Castleton Lyons, UK Equine Campus of Maine Chance Farm, and Cobra opened their gates exclusively for this event.

If you attended Bike for the Bluegrass and have any pictures you would like to share or event suggestions, please email us.

A special thank you to all who contributed to the 2nd Annual Bike for the Bluegrass, especially our sponsors, the Bluegrass Cycling Club, Wallace Station, Windy Corner Market, Fitness Plus, and Good Foods Market and Cafe!
