the cave hill cemetery tour
.
Through special arrangement with the superintendent of Cave Hill Cemetery, the long standing rule of  no bicycles allowed will be waived for one evening only, for VIP volunteers of the Louisville Bicycle Club. If you were given a volunteers' coffee mug last year, you should have received an invitation mailed out by the LBC.
This year, only LBC volunteers are allowed to ride. Only those special people who have donated at least 8 hours to the Club in the last year (2003) have been invited. This rule will be strictly enforced at the gate.
This year’s ride starts at the Cycler's Cafe on Lexington Road @ 6 pm. The procession will then leave the cafe and make its way to the cemetery’s Ray St. entrance.
Bicyclists will be allowed to tour all 16 miles of paved roads, or they may follow the ride captain for an informal tour of some of the highlights of the historic cemetery. All riders must be out of the gates by 8 pm. It is up to you, the Honored Volunteer, to follow this rule.
This bike ride will be presented as both a chance for the LBC volunteers to enjoy the history of Cave Hill, and to become a part of its history, by being a bicycling participant in this very rare riding location - for only the 3rd year in a row.
LBC Volunteers who give 8 hours of their time this year, hopefully, will be invited back again next year.
Any comments, questions, concerns, or complaints, may be directed to this year’s ride captain.

Here is a map for the 2004 tour.
