Louisville Bicycle Club will kick off the weekend with an open ride on Friday afternoon that will start and finish at The Barn located at Maples Park. Come get a taste of the local scenery, meet club members and pick up your packet when you finish your ride. 

The Old Kentucky Home Bicycle Tour was created in 1974 by Stewart Prather and other members of the Louisville Bicycle Club.  Originally, the route went to Bardstown, Kentucky, and now the route tours beautiful Oldham County. In honor of Stewart, we have kept the name OKHT.  Regardless of where the event starts and finishes, the OKHT still honors the original goal of touring the backroads of our Old Kentucky Home.
