Bike for the Bluegrass 2009

By Knox van Nagell | October 23rd, 2009 | See all in Events, Past Events

“Bike for the Bluegrass 2009” was a very successful event! It was held on Saturday, October 24^th—and despite the rainy, cold weather over 100 cyclists came out and got an inside look at the unparalleled natural beauty, history, and “nuts and bolts” of our signature equine industry here in Fayette County.

As a gesture of support for The Fayette Alliance, Gainesway, Mt. Brilliant, Castleton Lyons, and Cobra farms opened their gates exclusively for this event—and participants were able to choose a 10-mile family friendly ride, or a 30-mile and 45-mile ride which explored the inroads of these renowned equine operations.

The Fayette Alliance would like to thank those who made this event possible including the participating farms: Mt. Brilliant, Gainesway, Cobra, and Castleton Lyons; event sponsors the Bluegrass Cycling Club, Wallace Station, and Good Foods Market and Café; our volunteers; and all of the cyclists who participated in the ride.

We look forward to hosting “Bike for the Bluegrass 2010” next fall, and will keep you posted of all details as they unfold.
