Ray's Indoor MTB Park in Cleveland, Ohio officially opened their doors last weekend for the 07/08 Winter riding season. SRAM, Fox, Trek, Fisher and a slew of riders showed up for some fun indoor riding despite mild weather outside. Bikemag.com was there to enjoy the atmosphere and check out the redesigned park.

I was surprised to see this on a Utah forum...Rays is about an hour from me. I've been there many times. It really makes the Ohio winters a little more bearable. The place is a blast and a pretty good workout as well as a good place to hone your tech. skills. Great atmosphere too... cool music playing on speakers throughout. A loft up in the rafters where you can take a break and watch the action.... It started life as a parachute factory in WWII :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

http://www.raysmtb.com/ How well does it simulate actual mt. bike riding. Looking at the pictures it looks like it does a good job. |

I was skeptical at first but actually its pretty good. There is a XC course that get your blood pumping and lots of different obstacles and lines to try. Of course it can't completely simulate outdoor riding but it does a good job. Much better than spending the winter on a trainer. I thought I would get bored riding around, but there was never a dull moment. The trails are extremely well designed…they keep you on your toes, and its hard not to smile while your riding. My odometer said 24.3 miles when we were done….INSIDE A BUILDING! WILD!! |
