Ride Presented by

Come join us on the ride everyone is talking about!  

So many compliments each year on our beautiful roads and scenery.

Enjoy the beauty and challenge of riding the ridge tops and valleys of Northern Kentucky. See for yourself why many cyclists call this area “God’s country”. You will enjoy beautiful valleys and amazing vistas while pedaling along roads with very little traffic. 

The Licking Valley Century 2024 is the third ride of the five-part Kentucky Challenge Series presented by Bike-Walk KY.

Saturday morning there will be live music playing in the morning to get everyone ready to roll and Resers Bike shop will be on hand to make sure your bike is tuned and ready.

Did someone say fresh baked treats? At the first rest stop in Butler, KY the MillStone Cafe will be serving fresh baked goodies to energize you and keep everyone rolling with a smile.
 
Beloved charity ride the Great Pumpkin Roll Gran Fondo will be hosting a themed rest stop in Lenoxburg, KY. 

The last rest stop is not to be missed.  12 Mile Creek Winery is hosting. Buy some wine and have it delivered to the finish line.

If you have never been on these roads before you are in for a real treat.

Register early!  There is a rider limit.
