About the Event

The Redbud Ride is an annual bicycle ride that starts in beautiful downtown London, KY and stretches throughout the surrounding areas. This ride is a must do for cycling enthusiasts, professionals, century riders and amateurs alike. The Redbud Ride has been chosen as the "Best Century Ride in America" by Active.com. 

The routes for the Redbud Ride passes some of the most beautiful scenery in Kentucky, filled with blooming redbud trees! There are 4 beautiful routes to choose from.

* The Yellow Route (24 miles) is our shortest and flattest route, which makes it the perfect route for the beginning rider or for a family.

* The Orange Route (34 miles) is a modest route which makes it challenging for first-timers or a more casual pace for experienced riders.

* The Green Route (72 miles) comes in as our intermediate route. For the first time the Redbud Ride will have a fabulous metric century. This route will have lots of short hills mixed with flats. This metric century is very scenic. The Green Route will once again be part of the Kentucky Cycling Challenge.

* The Red Route (100 miles), is the pinnacle of the Redbud Ride and our most advanced route! The Red Route was chosen by cyclists across the nation as the “Best Century Ride in America". The Red Route will once again be a part of the Kentucky Century Challenge.
