DC Multisport is excited to host its 4th Annual Folk Fest Bike Tour on September 17-18, 2016 - a bicycling event designed to entertain all levels of bicyclists. This tour of Dubois and neighboring Counties will be one to bring you back year after year to marvel at the rural landscapes, enjoy some of the smoothest county roads in the state, and partake in an abundance of FREE family-friendly activities to keep you entertained well into the evening.
On Saturday, multiple routes will cater to a variety of interests and abilities. The two longer routes will begin at 8:30am (Eastern Time) & the 24 mile route will begin at 8:40am. One of the main features is a SAG stop at historic League Stadium and a pedal through the charming Victorian-styled business district in Huntingburg, Indiana. The 50 mile route briefly visits the city of Jasper, Indiana before turning southeast toward the small town of St. Anthony and putting your legs to the test on the increasingly difficult hills near the Ferdinand State Forest. The last 4.5 miles of the long route is NOT for the faint of heart - enjoy our road signage - we dare you!!
A NEW route added for Saturday is the family route, a 12 mile trip to Monte Cassino & back - a perfect ride for the entire family to enjoy.
Beginning at 8:30am on Sunday, a single route option will take adventurous spirits past the stunning St. Meinrad Archabbey, over some leg burning hills to the hidden town of Bristow, Indiana past multiple scenic vistas, through the perpetually festive town of Santa Claus (home to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari), and back to Ferdinand over lightly traveled undulating roads.
Three sag stops are positioned at convenient equipped, cycling-friendly locations along the routes both Saturday and Sunday.
