The Horsey Hundred is the premier cycling event in Kentucky and the signature event of the Bluegrass Cycling Club.
We've come a long way since the inaugural Horsey Hundred was held at the Kentucky Horse Park (Lexington, KY) in 1978.
The first event featured 50-mile routes on Saturday and Sunday with an optional Century ride on Saturday.
No records exist of how many participated the first year, but the next year (1979) had 65 participants. The event now
hosts some 3,000 riders.
An endorsement from Joe Gutmann:
"I have ridden it for 3 years and it is a good ride and value. Registration opens on February 1st
and it typically fills up in 2-3 days. If you have interest, please let me know."
SET AN ALARM FOR FEBRUARY 1st IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. THIS FILLS UP FAST!

Roads will be marked noting every turn, and fully stocked SAG stops await riders on each route, and all participants will receive a custom soft-style event t-shirt. There will be donuts at the start, and stick around after the ride for music, food and drink, vendors, local shopping, and an awards presentation to the top three finishers in each age group.
There are 16, 34, 67 and 100-mile routes, including both flat and hilly 67-mile options. The longer routes include

lunch with their choice of either a grilled pork tenderloin or hamburger sandwich, a choice of sides, dessert,
drinks and more while listening to our live band.
