Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the first official Adventure Ride at O'Bannon Woods and Harrison-Crawford State Forest. Your support will help fund trail maintenance and trail building efforts.

And thanks to the many volunteers who helped make the event possible. It wasn't that many years ago when we'd only have one or two volunteers show up at an event. Now there is an awesome team!

The weather forecast looked ominous early in the week, but the worst of it held off.

For those that missed out and may want to plan for next year, it's not just a ride--it's an ADVENTURE!!!
