B&O Trail Association

What a difference a year makes.  Last year 3½ inches of rain covered Hendricks County.  On June 6^th of this year almost 800 enthusiastic bicyclists enjoyed sunny warm weather on dry roads. 

There were 431 pre-registered riders and 290 riders who registered the day of the ride and 78 CIBA club riders.  For a geographic breakdown, roughly 1/3 of the riders came from Hendricks County, 1/3 from Marion County, and 1/3 from all other Indiana counties.  There were 13 out-of-state riders from as far away as Pennsylvania and Texas.  There were Boy Scouts riding for merit badges, experienced riders, families on their first bicycle ride together, fast riders, slow riders, endurance riders, and purely pleasure riders.

The ride could not happen without volunteers such as the Brownsburg High School Student Council, an organized caterer with yummy food, a partnership with the Brownsburg Parks and Recreation Department, Brownsburg Police Bike Patrol, a SAG rest stop located at McCloud Nature Park and staffed by Hendricks County Park Dept, the Benners' SAG at their schoolhouse home, Church of the Nazarene who let bicyclists park in their parking lot, and Hendricks County Trail Development Association and B&O Trail Association board members.  A big thanks goes to all the volunteers who helped to host the B&O Bicycle Tour.

We especially thank our title sponsor, Hendricks Regional Health, who generously gave us the funding to put on a first class event.
