These routes travel the area of southeast Fayette County and parts of northern Jessamine County. Most roads are two-lane rural roads with light traffic, passing by some horse farms and possibly a vineyard. The goal is to have an enjoyable jaunt through the countryside. The ride will generally be moderately difficult. There are some long hills and moderate rollers.
Make sure you have a helmet, water, and a spare tube that fits your tires.
