Hack the Hat V7 – Going for a ride at DerbyCon

Most of you know that the first year we did this we actually started in Ohio and cycled our way down to Louisville in the days prior to the con.  That’s a bit hard to manage on an annual basis so we settle for doing an early morning ride at the con instead.  We’d love for you to join us.

Your best bet for this ride is to bring your own bike if you can.  There are places to rent in Lousivlle and we’ll leave to your own devices on that front as we generally don’t have enough critical mass for this ride to ask a shop for any deals or special accommodations.  Be aware that renting may require you to pick up your bike the day before.  Also it appears that Louisville finally has a bike share program so that’s an option as well – especially since there are pick up stations near the con venue.

Ride Details:

  • Meet Saturday, September 23rd, at 7:30am in the Hyatt Louisville lobby.
  • This is a no drop, no setting speed records ride but hopefully we’ll get about 15-20 miles in before finishing.
  • Route is TBD, but there will be no major hills (it’s Louisville after all)
  • We likely will NOT be back for the first talk of the day but should return with plenty of time to make that 2nd slot.  Sorry Saturday morning speakers.
  • All riders need to have a bike, helmet, and water bottle (preferably filled with…you know…water).
