From www.BikeLexington.com website:
The Kentucky Rails to Trails Council and communities along the route have hosted a cycling relay from Lexington to Ashland in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. The first bicycle ride along the corridor between Lexington and Mt. Sterling was in 2002. The bicycle rides and the relays between Ashland and Lexington promoted the building of this railtrail along the route of the former Lexington Big Sandy Railroad. The proposed Lexington Big Sandy Rail Trail continues to be an important piece of the future of Kentuckys recreation and tourism.
The Kentucky Rails to Trails Council did not sponsor a relay in 2009, but cyclists who rode 30 miles or more of the route were asked to send a brief description of their ride and pictures at stops along the way to KRTC. The pictures will be posted on the KRTC website, www.kyrailtrail.org and be available for promotional use.
