Huge shout-out to all the Scouts and parent volunteers from Troop 63 who were out in force Sunday, May 25th, 2025, serving refreshments to the amazing cyclists participating in the Horsey Hundred bicycle event! We’re proud to be set up in Millersburg, ready to offer a much-needed break and some delicious fuel to these dedicated riders.
A special shout-out to scouts Samuel Miller, Luke Johnson, and Ethan Scott who are participating! These dedicated scouts spent their weekend immersed in the outdoors at Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park. They enjoyed springtime biking and hiking, and also built fellowship with other campers, making for a memorable weekend before this big event.
The Horsey Hundred is Kentucky’s premier cycling event, hosted by the Bluegrass Cycling Club. It’s an annual tradition held over Memorial Day Weekend (May 23-25, 2025), drawing over 2,000 riders from all over to experience the stunning beauty of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region.
Today, many of the Horsey Hundred’s routes, including the popular 100-mile and 75-mile options, are passing right through our historic town of Millersburg! Riders on these legs of the journey wind through picturesque horse farms, past iconic stone fences, and through charming historic towns like ours. Our refreshment stand is a crucial stop, providing water, snacks, and a friendly face to help them recharge and keep going as they navigate these beautiful but challenging routes.
For those interested in visiting, Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park is a significant historical site and a fantastic place for outdoor activities. Located along the Licking River, it’s known as the site of the last Revolutionary War battle in Kentucky. The park offers hiking trails (like the River Trail and Heritage Trail), a Pioneer Museum, and opportunities for birding, wildflower viewing, and picnicking. It’s a great spot for camping, with utility hookups available, and features amenities such as mini-golf and a swimming pool seasonally. You can find more information about the park on the Kentucky State Parks website.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for Troop 63 to demonstrate community service, support a major local event, and cheer on the incredible athletes. Come on out and say hello if you’re in the area, and let’s give these bikers a warm Millersburg welcome!
Go Troop 63!
