We have 4 BEAUTIFUL rest stops! Oldham County is the Farm Tour Capital of Kentucky and these farms and ranches are part of Oldham County Tourism’s program, Oldham Farm Tours! We are very excited about this ride! Any questions about the RIDE, fire away to okht@louisvillebicycleclub.org
You will be closer to the OKHT action by staying right here in Oldham County! With LOWER hotel taxes and all La Grange hotels being on I-71 at Exit 22, Oldham County has become a favorite Kentucky spot to STAY and SAVE just outside the city!

Kentuckians share a rich cultural history that doesn’t confine itself to just one community. Eyes moisten all over the state when we hear that sad old refrain from the classic Stephen Foster ballad – My Old Kentucky Home!
