YOUR BEST CLUB... YOUR BEST CYCLING...

Welcome to the home of the Bluegrass Cycling Club. Established in 1970, Bluegrass Cycling Club is an active and thriving community of Central Kentucky cyclists.

Two wheels and a road bring us together but we are active in much more. The club organizes and hosts the Horsey Hundred, the Red River Rally, and Pedaling for a Purpose which are nationally recognized cycling events and educational programs. The BCC gives back to local communities through philanthropy but most importantly we advocate for the safety of riders as we journey the beautiful backroad of the Bluegrass!

Please explore our site to learn more about the benefits of being a part of the Bluegrass Cycling Club. If you are not a member please consider joining us on a ride or becoming a member by clicking join now.

Aaron Long

I have been a Lexington resident since 1996, following my graduation from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Computer Science. I discovered my passion for road cycling in 2020 and began riding with the club in 2022. In 2023, I embraced leadership roles as a ride leader and as part of the IT team for the club and the Horsey Hundred.

Arnd Zander

I moved to the USA in 2017 and joined the club that same year. I have been cycling for more than 30 years and have experience with all types of bikes (road, mountain and tandem), and have spent cycling holidays all over the world, such as Mallorca, Cyprus, Spain, Sardinia and the Canary Islands.
With the BCC, I ride and lead almost all groups (B-EF) as a ride leader, but privately I prefer longer rides. I'm on the Horsey committee and feel it's time to take my turn in the wind and serve on the board.

Bena Halecky

I have been cycling for more than 30 years in Central KY. I have been active in the club for most of those years as a rider, a ride leader, a volunteer and now as a board member. I served as Rides Chair and as Vice President this past year and I am seeking another term on the board.

David Moore

I have been an active cyclist for 25 years and a member of our club for over 20. I have been leading rides since 2003. After I retired from Central Bank, I joined the board in 2022 helping to chair the Rides Committee. This past year I served as President. I am looking to serve 1 more term on the board.
