Local Residents Will Participate in Wacky Bike Race Throughout Indianapolis

June 15, 2011 - PRLog -- INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Urban Bike Adventure is an off-beat bike race made up of obstacle-dodging, scavenger-hunting and road-racing events. The adventure tour hits the streets of Indianapolis on June 25. Check-in will begin at 9 a.m. at the Tavern on South at 423 W. South St.

This will be the inaugural year for the Urban Bike Adventure created by Jason Kelly, an Indianapolis high school graduate. Kelly hopes to spread the spirit of adventure to every city his race visits. The idea is picking up speed as the 2011 Urban Bike Adventure tour now includes ten major cities throughout the country, including Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Miami.

Indianapolis was chosen as a stop on the Urban Bike Adventure tour because of the city’s growing investment in bicycle infrastructure and continual growth as a bike-friendly city. Kelly said, “Indianapolis may be known for fast cars, but on June 25, the fastest bikes will win this race.”

The Urban Bike Adventure is designed for participants of all skill levels. From the casual biker to the commuter to the triathlete; everyone can participate in this race. “Most teams participate just for the laughs and memories of discovering the city in a new way, but some will compete to win it all,” Kelly said, “either way, a lot of our participants will forget they’re even in a race and just have fun.” Participants will compete in teams of two or three to post the fastest time in completing the checkpoints and earn top prizes. Online registration is available at www.urbanbikeadventure.com.
