B&O BICYCLE TOUR SPONSORED BY HENDRICKS REGIONAL HEALTH
June 13, 2026 at Cardinal Elementary in Brownsburg!  This venue was very popular last year.  The 34th Annual B&O Bicycle Tour will showcase portions of the B&O Trail as well as scenic countryside.  You may choose from 11-, 15-, 25-, 45- and 62-mile loops. After the ride, stick around for lunch and live music.  

WHERE ~ Cardinal Elementary, 3590 S Hornaday Rd, Brownsburg, IN 46112.

START TIME ~ Sign-in is open from 7:30 to 9:00 AM on Saturday, June 13, 2026.  All riders may depart once they have completed their check-in, prepped their bikes and donned a helmet!  

WHAT’S FOR LUNCH ~ Listen to live music as you enjoy a fantastic lunch catered by Smokin' J's Barbecue immediately after the ride.  There will be a vegetarian option available!  Enjoy a free post-ride frozen treat from the Ice Barn.  Thank you to Aqua Systems for donating water and Core Mark for the snacks at the SAG stops.  

ENTRY FEES ~ Winter discounts on registration fees are in effect through April 1st.  Winter discounts are a full $10 off of the normal registration rates.   Lunch is included with all registrations!  A lunch-only fee is available for non-riders for just $10.  The winter fee for adults is $50 and then goes to $60 on April 2nd.  The winter fee for young adults (13-18 years old) is $40 and then goes to $50 on April 2nd.  All of these include a t-shirt and lunch.  Children 12 and under are $10 to cover the cost of the t-shirt. Please note that after June 5th, the registration does not include a t-shirt.   Our event is rain or shine.  No refunds are given based on weather.

DONATIONS ~ Consider giving a donation to the B&O Trail in addition to your ride entry fee.  In 2025, we completed the section of trail in Marion County, resulting in 16 miles of continuous paved trail from downtown Indy to the middle of Hendricks County.  In 2026, we will focus on further expansion westward in Hendricks County including a trail through the community of Maplewood and a bridge over Barnette's Ditch.  Local funds raised from generous folks like you enable this expansion along with ongoing trail maintenance.  BOTA is an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donations are tax deductible.

T-SHIRTS ~ Again this year, all registered riders receive a souvenir t-shirt if you register before June 5. If you don’t care to receive a t-shirt, you can decline the t-shirt and that portion of your registration fee will be an extra donation to the B&O Trail project.  Or you can upgrade to a long sleeve t-shirt for an extra $10. A limited number of shirts will be available the day of the ride, but they will be on a first come, first served basis if you register after June 5.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF RIDE ~ SAG vehicles will be roving the routes to assist with minor mechanical problems or fatigue.  Routes are marked on the roads, but route maps are provided as a backup. Mechanics from Bicycle Garage Indy (BGI) will be on hand to answer mechanical questions and assist riders with pre-ride inspections. Ride On Bicycle Repair will provide mechanical support at the Maplewood SAG Stop.  The first 300 riders to check-in will receive a souvenir water bottle.  Riders will enjoy live music as they eat lunch from Smokin' J's Barbecue (10:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and receive a frozen treat from the Ice Barn.  Lunch and the frozen treat are included with your registration.

Returning this year - Post-Ride Massage!
Inner Balance Pilates and Yoga Studio is offering post-ride massage. 

The best time to work out soreness is right after your ride.  Please sign up to receive a therapeutic massage and feel great for your drive home! There will be 2 licensed massage therapists on site offering table massage.  This will allow you to lie down and begin relaxing while having the therapist focus on legs or other areas of concern. The cost will be $15 for a 15-minute session.  You will be on a checklist and massages will be given in a first-come, first-served manner.
