I live in the Berea area but cycle all over Kentucky - whether it be road or mountain biking. There's plenty of both. The Bluegrass Cycling Club is not as active as the Louisville Cycling Club, but still a nice group of people and a good resource.

mapmyride.com is a wonderful way to get to see some breathtaking country! Both of the above groups are great for keeping you up-to-date on upcoming rides. I have my favorite organized rides, just like everyone else. It's all relative and depends on what you like.

Cave Run Lake is wonderful with trails for mountain biking.

Any questions, let me know! I'd be thrilled to share my (limited) knowledge of the area.
