Raising Funds for the Limestone Cycling Tour Scholarship

The Limestone Cycling Tour began as ‘A Ride to Remember’ to recognize the Mason County High graduate who died in 2009 and was an avid cyclist. His parents established a scholarship in their son’s name and some friends of Zach organized the first ride with proceeds going into the scholarship fund.

In 2019, $20,000 were raised through the ride with $5,000 going to the Zach Ruble Memorial Scholarship and $15,000 going into a new scholarship, the Limestone Cycling Tour Scholarship through Maysville Community and Technical College.  The MCTC scholarship fund will be available to Mason County, St. Patrick, Bracken County and Augusta schools in Kentucky.

Early registration will include a free event t-shirt.  (details will be available on event website)
