The routes for the Redbud Ride passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in Kentucky. The 4 routes to choose from:
* The Yellow Route (24 miles) is the 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.
