Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official ThreadHwy. 146 can get busy at certain times of the day. I live nearby and ride that road quite a bit, if you time it after school starts and before noon time it's not bad during the week. For the most part Oldham Co. is cycling friendly, I've never had a problem on our roads. (Just watch the 4 way stop in the center of LaGrange, be sure to stop and wait your turn.) On race day, it is a completely different atmosphere, auto traffic will be much less, police will be at all the major intersections, some side streets will be closed to minimize potential issues, and everybody knows the drill when Ironman is in town. With that said, you still have to watch for the one goober that is not paying attention. Stay safe, have fun, smile & wave. Scott |
