If you’re looking for a way to connect with fellow Lexingtonians + spend more time in nature, Coffee Outside Lexington is here to fill that need.

The #CoffeeOutside concept is an international campaign that encourages cycling enthusiasts to ride to or meet at a specific location to brew coffee + share conversation. “It allows for some great community-building and an appreciation for the parks + quiet outdoor places your city has to offer,” said Brian Turner, one of the founders of the local chapter.

The group meets three times a month

  • Weekday Meet-ups | First + Third Wednesdays of the month | 7 a.m. | The Tree Circle at Henry Clay Estate, alongside Woodspoint Road
  • Weekend Meet-ups | Second Saturday of the month | 10 a.m. | Woodland Park, 601 E. High St.
