Overall Difficulty:
This will be a fairly easy ride out and back on the Harrodsburg Road trail with some riding in the neighborhoods and some of the route on the shoulder of Harrodsburg Rd.

Details:
Do you want to get more miles in during the week?  Do you want to ride as the sun goes down and it gets dark?  Do you want to ride when it's marginally cooler outside?  Then this ride is for you.  Ride the County Line at 6 p.m. and then join Bellerive After Dark for some bonus miles, or just come to Bellerive After Dark if you can't make it to the County Line.   If you are riding the County Line first, be sure to bring extra hydration and nutrition to have for Bellerive After Dark.

This ride will take place directly after the County Line ride.  We will not start any earlier than 8 p.m., but we may start later depending on how long the County Line ride goes.  We will wait for all paces to return from the County Line before departing, but again, it will not begin before 8 p.m. if County Line ends earlier than that.

The sun will be setting and we will be out after the sun has completely set, so headlights and taillights are mandatory.  Preferably multiple lights if possible and ones with which you can see the road and any hazards.

This will be an All Comers ride.  We will ride together as one group at a safe pace so that we will be more easily seen as the sun sets.  We will ride only as fast as the slowest rider.  The goal of this ride to have fun and get a few extra miles during the workweek.

Come ride B.A.D., and feel good!
