Location: 104 West Pearl St, North Salem, IN (Festival parking is available next to SR75, at the south edge of North Salem)
Distances: 10 and 20 mile routes
Fee: $10
Registration starts at 7:30. The ride starts at 8:00 AM. No pre-registration.
Features: Hot buffet breakfast included with fee (until 10 AM), marked routes, sag van, refreshment stop, scenic roads, see McCloud Nature Park (20 mi route). The 10 mile route is gently rolling, picturesque farmland. The 20 mile route includes some moderate hills. The ride is part of the Old Fashion Days Festival. The route is a figure 8 course. All riders start out going northwest out of North Salem. After returning to North Salem and passing the SAG stop, the longer riders continue south of North Salem to McCloud Park. This route includes parts of the 62 mile route used for the B&O Bicycle Tour in June, so if you've done the B&O ride but have only done the 25 miler, this is a chance to see what you've been missing.

On Tuesday, December 8, 2009, our B&O Trail Association became the proud owner of 16 miles of abandoned railroad corridor in Hendricks County! The purchase from CSX Transportation finally closed after several years of negotiations with the company and several government agencies. With this property in hand, and the first 1000 feet of pavement on the ground, we are poised to take advantage of substantial federal and state grants to construct several more miles of paved trail between Raceway Road and SR 267 in Brownsburg in 2010. This will NOT be possible, however, without the financial contributions of each and every one of our members and supporters. These grants all require up-front local "matches". This means that we have to have 20% of cost of construction in hand before receiving additional grant money. This matching money can amount to several hundreds of thousands of dollars! Every dollar counts, so please consider the value this great trail would provide to you and your family, and just click on the button to the right today. We are getting closer to our $50,000. As of January 20, we have raised $35,177!! ( Click here for "thank yous") Please help us reach our goal with a generous contribution today. |
