MORE WAYS TO BIKE BOURBON COUNTRY

If you’d rather leave the planning and logistics to someone else, the active travel company Backroads offers a five-day guided bike trip, The Legendary Bourbon Trail: Louisville to Lexington, priced from $2,799 a person. Or you can sign up for the three-day Bourbon Country Burn ride held annually in late September, which offers less opulent food and lodging but comes with a small price tag: $289.
