Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 13, 2026 and get your bike ready! This is our 34th year and we have another great bicycle tour planned for 2026. We will be celebrating the completion of the long-awaited connection between Brownsburg and Speedway. Click HERE to register today or to learn more.
For the third year in a row, we will be launching the tour from Cardinal Elementary school in Brownsburg. Many of the routes will take riders out on the trail to the western edge. New this year, riders have an option to head east into Speedway and experience the newly completed section of the trail. Some routes will continue out west onto county roads in Hendricks and Putnam County. Check out our improved registration website where riders and volunteers can sign up.

DONATIONS ~ Consider giving a donation to the B&O Trail in addition to your ride entry fee or optionally cover the extra cost for the credit card processing fee. We are working to extend the trail westward in Hendricks County. Local funds raised from generous folks like you enable expansion and ongoing maintenance of the trail. BOTA is an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donations are tax deductible.
