what to do during the winter months
One of the most superb businesses to be offered to the Midwest mountain biker is the indoor trail. Ray’s Indoor Park, located in Cleveland, is the first to offer riding for us in the frozen winter months and the sloppy spring and fall months.
This indoor trail is attracting riders from all over the Midwest and many bus loads from Canada.
The trail is housed in the old industrial section of Cleveland, which has long since been abandoned. The entire building has been gutted of its former factory tools and machines. This makes for a perfect palette for a trail designer to paint the trail to make a rider forget about what the lousy weather outside. The trail is as challenging as many outdoor courses. It does lack for distance, but it makes up for it in jumps, ramps, and obstacles to ride over.
There are several indoor trails in the US that are dedicated to the BMX rider. These trails are very short with many banked turns and jumps to clear several at a time. This type of trail requires much less floor space and less thought on how to lay it out. One of Ray’s continuing themes is to be on the cutting edge for the difficult obstacles to conquer.
The distance to travel to Ray’s is the biggest drawback. That is why I would love to see an indoor trail open up in the Fort Wayne area. When the winter blues hit and there are no trails to ride on, I am sure I will be on my way to Ray’s for some relief.
