The Ride

The Burn — part bike tour, part bourbon festival — is a three-day, fully-supported bicycle tour of the bourbon distilleries and Thoroughbred horse farms of Kentucky. Explore quiet country roads and quaint communities en route to distilleries nestled amongst the rolling bluegrass hills. Daily distance options range from 20 – 100 miles and stop at numerous distilleries throughout the event. Back at Bourbon Base Camp, located at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground, sip local bourbon from the same distilleries you biked to that day — plus more — and enjoy live entertainment with friends, old and new. Registration is open to riders 21+. 

Format

The Bourbon Burn is a three-day bicycle tour, with loops departing from the Bourbon Base Camp each morning.
