The Ride

Welcome to The Cameron Ponder Cycling Classic. The "CPCC" provides funding to the KSP Trooper Ponder Memorial Scholarship. For more information on the memorial fund please visit Trooper Cameron Ponder Memorial Scholarship Fund

This year we are excited to be part of the Kentucky Cycling Challenge led by BikeWalk Kentucky and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. For more information visit: https://bikewalk.ky/kentucky-cycling-challenge

Cycle through the lightly traveled and scenic rural roads of Central Kentucky. The ride will be escorted out of Elizabethtown by KSP. Join us as we honor hometown hero and Kentucky State Trooper Ponder along with first responders everywhere. Trooper Ponder’s badge number is 954; therefore, $9.54 from every registration will be donated to the memorial fund. We are proud that for each of the first three years of this event, we have been able to donate at least one scholarship annually to the Cameron Ponder Scholarship Fund. The SAG stops will be staffed by first responders and their families, as well as local civic organizations. T-shirts are included with registrations received before 15AUG2026. Registrations after 16 AUG will receive T-shirts/swag based on availability.
