Hey Club Members,
Join us for some bike miles with added smiles! The first REM ride of the season will start at Slainte Public House in Georgetown. This event will be extra special as we are designing the ride so those doing the alternate Horsey Hundred can participate. Please read the description below for details.
The ride starts in historic Georgetown and rolls out to the beautiful horse country of Scott County. The ride will breeze by and soon you’ll return to a little Irish court yard for a special luncheon designed specifically for the club.
If you’re new to the club or new to REM (Ride Eat, Mingle) rides, you don’t want to miss out on these events. It’s a great way to meet other club members and ideal for asking questions about all things related to biking. We start out with a great bike ride, including all pace levels and finish up with a catered meal at no cost to you. Just be sure to sign up for the event so we know how much food to order.
PLUS 1
For our first event we are allowing members to invite a friend or family member interested in finding out more about the club to join us. Guests are welcome for both the ride and luncheon.
REM riders will start at 9:00am
Lunch will be ready around 11:45am
A Cash Bar will also be available.

Links: The following are the Century and Metric Century routes:
PLEASE NOTE: You Saturday volunteers may also ride ANY of the routes for the REM event, or any combination of those routes, to get the mileage you want to do. You are also encouraged to adjust your routes and your starting time so that you can partake of the FREE LUNCH at Slainte!
For instance, if you want to do a Century, but still have the lunch, you could ride the Metric route above (going west), leaving around 8:00 am, averaging 17 mph, which will bring you back to Georgetown before noon. Then, after lunch, you could do the A/B route (37.7 miles), which goes east, and reach your 100 miles.
Someone who wants to do the Metric Century and still have the lunch? Just do the A route (38.4 miles), leaving Georgetown at whatever time between 8 and 9 am that will allow you to return in time for lunch, and then, after lunch, ride the B/C route (22.8 miles) to get 61+ miles.
Put together your groups and have fun doing the Alternate Horsey Hundred Ride! Even folks who are not volunteering on Saturday may want to get in a longer ride and pedal along with some friends for a few more miles than usual. Your miles can't count for the Kentucky Cycling Challenge, but they are still counted for Club Miles!
