NIMBA Potato Creek Bike Day: July 12

Posted by Adam Bee on June 19, 2008

The Northern Indiana Mountain Bike Association (NIMBA) is hosting a Bike Day on July 12 at Potato Creek State Park.  It includes a safety class, men’s and women’s mountain bike clinics, a mountain bike time trial, and a kid’s race.  This is the first NIMBA event to be sanctioned by the DNR.  More details are available at the NIMBA site.

Personally, I think this sounds like a ton of fun.  I’ve been thinking for a while about adding a mountain bike to the stable, and this seals the deal for me!

Weekly Group Rides

Posted by Henry Scott on June 19, 2008

Know of a regular group or club ride in the area? Please add a comment with details, and I’ll keep editing the main part of this post with the latest information.

Outpost Tuesday Night Rides: Outpost Sports organizes a group ride every Tuesday night starting in Granger. They have groupings for distance and pace that will suit just about all riders, and they do their best to not drop any rider. From the Outpost website you can subscribe to a mailing list with the latest details. They also had a website dedicated to the group rides last year; I’m not sure if this is still current because it states 2007 on the main page: Ride with Outpost.

Spin Zone Wednesday Night Ride: The Spin Zone ride starts at 6:30 PM at the Spin Zone shop on Bittersweet Rd. in Granger. As Adam pointed on in the comments below, it is a good idea to call the shop ahead of time to confirm that the ride is on (574-243-4994). Here’s a direct link to their page on weekly and special rides: LINK.

Proform Thursday Night Rides: This group leaves from ProForm Bike Shop (Ironwood and Rt 23) each Thursday at 5:30. It’s fairly fast, so if you’re not a racer you may want to plan to drop off with someone else when the pace heats up. Helmets are required.

MBA Weekly Rides: The Michiana Bicycle Association organizes regular rides each week (currently Tuesdays, Wednesdays and weekends!); you can get the latest information here.
