2007-05-27 Horsey 100 The annual signature event for the Bluegrass Cycling Club. (Many thanks to Vicky "Double Dog Flash" Dobbs for contributing the photos for this album.)

Horsey Hundred is a Memorial Weekend ride put on by the Bluegrass Cycling Club, and is based in Georgetown Kentucky, just north of Lexington. Mileage options for each day vary from 15 miles to a century. Terrain is anything but flat, but very few hills are steep enough to cause anybody problems.

Rest stops are arranged at approximately 20 mile intervals, and include cookies, fruit, Gatorade, and water. Oh yeah, and porta-potties. Late May weather in Kentucky is mild.

Horsey Headquarters is at Georgetown College, (not to be confused with Georgetown University.) For a modest fee, (OK it's really cheap!) riders may reserve dorm rooms for the weekend. Organizers allow riders to specify if they are riding a tandem or recumbent, and try to put those people in the first floor rooms. There are also hotel accomodations and a campground in reasonable proximity.
