Welcome to the Bluegrass State of mind!
Welcome to Kentucky!
We’re taking you on some of the best rides Central Kentucky has to offer—rolling hills, beautiful rivers, and sweeping views of the world-renowned horse farms.
Whether you join one of our guided rides or venture out on your own, you’ll be treated to a stunning backdrop of nature, history, and culture. We’ll have vendors, daytime entertainment, and plenty of time to connect with fellow riders at the rally headquarters.
Lexington is the perfect base for exploring some of the most scenic motorcycle routes in the country. From frontier forts and Civil War-era battlefields to the famous Bourbon Trail distilleries, every turn promises something special. And let’s not forget about the Heart of the Dragon routes in Eastern Kentucky, including the breathtaking Eye of the Dragon ride through Red River Gorge State Park and the iconic Covered Bridge Ride.
Nearby, the Kentucky Horse Park and the world’s finest horse farms await you. This is the official Horse Capital of the World, and we’ve got it all for the true motorcycle adventurer.
Lexington is just an easy ride away from major cities like Louisville, Cincinnati, Huntington (WV), Knoxville (TN), and Nashville, so no matter where you're coming from, you’re in for an unforgettable weekend.
So, let’s make this year count. Kentucky is waiting for you— we’re ready to ride!
