Saturday December 14, 2013 – 4:00 PM - A tradition in the makingJ 2 Mile Holiday Ride through the Mega Cavern Lights Under Louisville…over 2 million points of light and 850 Christmas light displays. The terrain is mostly packed dirt so a mountain bike or wider tire type bike is advisable. To better be able to see the roadway a front headlight is a good idea. We’ll meet at the Kmart parking lot located at 4025 Poplar Level Road and ride to Taylor Avenue which is just off the Kmart parking lot. We will have a sign in sheet and the cost is $6.00 per person, exact change would be very helpful. This is great fun! We are allowed to ride through before they are open to the general public..so no cars..only bikes..how cool is that! Christmas cookies and hot chocolate after the ride…hope you can join us. The rain date will be the following Saturday, December 21, 2013..same time…same everything. RC Kelly McGill 502-641-7718 RC: Kelly McGill: 502-641-7718

Commisky Gravel Adventure Ride. Commisky Post Office. Get ready for an adventure! This ride will be ridden on a variety of road surfaces, so expect to bring a cross, mtb or other bike that can handle larger treaded tires. Part of the adventure is that the roads will be mostly unknown, as even the ride captain will likely not have seen them before, so expect to be rerouted if roads are closed or impassible, ideally we will stay together as a group so nobody gets lost (or at least nobody is lost alone). Things to expect: pavement, gravel, dirt, mud, water crossings, trees down across roads, stores that aren't actually open. Roads without signs, roads that disappear into nothingness and require bushwacking through the woods to reach where the road reappears on the other side. Be prepared: bring enough food and water to handle the expected mileage and then some. Tools and such to fix any problems that you may have. Be prepared to push your bike up some impossibly steep, boulder strewn roads. Most of all be prepared to have fun! RC:Timothy Stephen: barturtle@gmail.com RC:Timothy Stephen: barturtle@gmail.com
