A Kentucky Tradition Since 1974

The Old Kentucky Home Bicycle Tour was founded in 1974 by Stewart Prather and fellow Louisville Bicycle Club members. Originally routed to Bardstown, Kentucky, the event now tours the beautiful roads of Oldham County.

While the start and finish locations have evolved, the mission remains the same — to celebrate the backroads of our Old Kentucky Home. In honor of Stewart, we proudly keep the name OKHT.

This event takes place rain or shine.

Register today and experience one of Kentucky’s longest-running and most beloved cycling traditions.
