Any chance other biking events could be posted here?
« on: September 01, 2017, 04:00:17 PM »
I'm new to riding in Indiana, and just finished the DINO race series (my first races!).  A ton of fun!  I just found out that there are other races and biking activities occasionally around Indy.  For instance, I just found out about the Griffin race and festival this weekend, and I can't go since I didn't find it sooner.  I don't know if there is a better place to find out about bike festivals, races, demo events and the like, but I wish there was a good central place to have things like that posted for all the Indy mtn bike crowd to see.  Is there someplace else I should be looking?  The only other thing I've been told is to watch facebook, which I try to avoid, but even so, how even on facebook would one find them?  Seems like the people putting on these kinds of events would love to have a better place to advertise in a central location.


Anyone have tips to find these types of events?

Welcome.  Unfortunately there isn't one place that has everything.  Watch the Forum.  Watch our main site, check the events section. 
Some upcoming big events are the Hassmer Fest (at Versailles State Park) and the Brown County Epic (at Brown County State Park).  Both of these are 3+ day events attended by several hundred mountain bikers.

One event that hasn't been mentioned is the inaugural "O'Bannon Woods Adventure Ride MTB Festival" on November 3rd-5th.


The ride, put together by the O'Bannon Woods Trail Crew, along with HMBA and KyMBA-Louisville, will feature two days on the Adventure Trail, tied together with the trails throughout the park. (Several ride options will be available.)


Camping is available on November 3-4.


More information will be available on the O'Bannon Woods Mountain Biking Facebook page.


Early Bird Registration information is also available here:
