Mr. Silver, no one sleeps in the gym at OKH, unless you want to sleep with your bike!Originally Posted by Mr. Silver
I could go for that. Bardstown is a neat place...(but I don't sleep in gyms...)
Come join us at the Hilly Hundred...we have a condo in Bloomington...no camping necessary
Since the event takes place a week after the tourist season (Labor Day)motel rooms are inexpensive and transportation is provided to all the motels.
And, yes, OKT is a great ride.
Another ride that is my all time favorite and hope to come back to do some day is the Horsey Hundred on Memorial Day weekend in Georgetown Ky. http://www.bgcycling.org/horsey.htm
The routes tour the horse farms and you will see barns worth more than your house. You will also see the foals racing around with their mothers.
Accomodations are at Georgetown College or motel rooms.
Everyone we recommended this ride to has fallen in love with it.
There are rides from 25 miles to 100.

I've got to throw a plug in for jobob and my club's ride - the Tierra Bella. I had one rider tell me that it's the only ride he's done where he's in danger of gaining weight (we have some of the best rest stop food in the land)

Wow! I could do that too. Some parts of Kentucky have the most beautiful countrysides imaginable! Originally Posted by Kathi

Mr. Silver - from what I understand the gym can be an interesting and entertaining place to camp out in (I can't speak first hand given I've never elected to sleep there) and it can't be too bad for the perimeter of the gym is air mattress to air mattress thick with people. However, if you're not up to the gym bring your tent and claim your spot out in the baseball field (I've claimed some choice spots the past few years out in right field). My brother, elects, every year to rent a room so that option is also available. No matter where you decide to spend the night the two days you will spend on your bike between Louisville and Bardstown will be two days packed with smiles, lots of good food and a ton of memories to cherish.
Seriously, if you and Silver venture down for the Horsey Hundred in May or OKHT in Sept. please let me know for I'd love to meet you guys.Marcie
