Description
The Governors Autumn Bicycle Ride Across Kentucky (GABRAKY) is a 4-day event this year that teams up with State Parks to offer a unique tour on some of the most scenic back roads in the state. GABRAKY is an annual fundraiser for the downtown Grand Theatre, a 428-seat community arts center entirely staffed by volunteers. http://grandtheatrefrankfort.org/ A portion of the proceeds will go to WalkBike Frankfort, a group helping build bicycle-pedestrian paths in the capital city. http://sites.google.com/site/walkbikefrankfort/
