We're excited to announce a new, monthly group bike riding opportunity highlighting our scenic community. Spearheaded by Rick Serres, The Tour D'Ville will occur on the first Saturday of every month from April through October. It will start at 3pm and leave from Wiesiger Park (except on Derby Day, when the ride will start at 1pm).
The tour is free (besides costing some calories!) though participants are encouraged to donate to a chosen local charity corresponding to each day (more info below).
The route will be around 10 to 15 miles and take approximately 2 hours, passing by these Danville landmarks:
- Wiesiger Plaza
- Community Arts Center
- Boyle County Public Library
- Great American Dollhouse Museum
- Jackson Park
- Maple Ave.
- Millenium Park
- Centre College
- Constitution Square
- Kentucky School for the Deaf
- Clarks Run Trail
- Pioneer Playhouse
- Chateau Du View Corbeau Winery
- Henson Pond
- Lexington Ave
- Water Park Plant
- Beer Engine
- Downtown Danville
If there is interest, an extended trip out to and back from Wilderness Trail Distillery can be added on for an additional 5 or so miles.
