Need to get back on your bike? We've got just the place ...


Maybe you're as tired of the snow as we are. Maybe you can't stand one more session on the rollers. Maybe trying to share the road with the cars and the snow banks and the salt and the grit has pushed you over the edge. 


Or maybe you just want to try something new....

Well, have we got the place for you! Last month, a few members of Team Town Cycle drove out to Cleveland to check out the famous Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park...and almost as soon as they got there, they started planning their return trip! We'd show you some pictures of them while they were there - but they were too busy checking out the indoor XC trail, the teeter totters, the foam pit, the beginner, sport and expert rooms, and the pump track to take any pictures! So here are a few videos to give you the idea ... 

Predictably, they can't wait until next year to try the place out again. So we're gathering a group and heading out to Cleveland again the last weekend of February - February 25-27, to be exact. Ray's MTB has a great deal with the local Holiday Inn (see the Ray's website for the link- you must use their link or promo code for discount) for about $70 a night - and they let you bring your bikes inside! There's great (and cheap!) food available locally, you can have pizza delivered right to the park, or bring your cooler and your PB&J sandwiches - Ray's has picnic tables and wi-fi! Bring your own bike or rent one there for reasonable rates. Spectators are free - kids 12 and under  ride for 1/2 price! 

To be clear - everyone is on their own here in terms of hotel reservations, etc. There's all kinds of information on the Ray's website. The drive was about 6 1/2 - 7 hours from West Milford (to be fair, it was snowing on the way out!). If you've been looking for an excuse to go check Ray's out, or thought no one else would be interested in going - you would be wrong! If you have any questions about how it works, what you should bring, etc., let us know. We'll hook you up with some answers from one of our "experts"!

Rebel Race said...

If you want to spice it up a little, you might want to consider doing Rebel Race. It is a really fun mud run with obstacles like a wall climb called the Great Wall of Rebel Race. They have another obstacles called Ninja Turle Tunnels. Its time to relive our childhood- lol. The website is www.rebelrace.com
