The Bluegrass Cycling Club and West 6^th have agreed to co-sponsor Pedaling for a Purpose again for 2018. Today we will be riding for the KYMBA kids clinic.

Education Session -
Scott Thompson wth LFUCG will talk about The Lexington Area MPO Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan: Where we are and where we are going…

This presentation will consist of how the Lexington Area will address and implement the recommendations set out in the 2018 update of the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan. We will look at where we are as a region and how we got here, what we heard from public comment, and the plan moving forwards for the implementation of the 5 E’s for planning a more bikeable and walkable community.

Rides offered - We will have group rides with leaders, but you will also have the option to come, sign in, and do something on your own ... Doesn't matter, miles will still count!!! If you plan to ride on your own, you can come and sign in anytime between 1-3.. Just time it so you're done by 5 ish.

Rides with leaders start at 2:00 PM
