First Indoor Mountain Bike Park
68EARLY YEARS
Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park it´s a unique indoor mountain cycling facility. It´s located inside an old parachute warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio and it´s opened since the fall of 2004. Ray's has become something of a dream playland for mountain bikers and BMXers of all kinds.
After a first year that saw the park gain lots of attention from press and visits from all over the world, owner Ray Petro went to work in the first offseason (summer of 2005) and made major changes that included adding a foam pit (place to train jumps and tricks), more north-shore style stunts and a more off-the-course goodies such as a fireplace lounge, TVs, video game systems, internet access and more.
The 2006/07 season have seen Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park reach knew heights, quite literally.
A new cross country loop has been added to the facility that takes riders around the perimeter of the other courses and up into the rafters.
The course takes nearly two minutes to complete and is a surprising workout. The whole cross country loop is self contained, so those looking for a good winter workout can just keep doing lap after lap until their quads can't handle it any more.
The extra square footage has also allowed Ray to turn the foam pit into the GT Jump Camp, a great section for those looking to hone their jumping and stunt skills before trying out a new move on the park's box jumps.
The foam pit has been replace by a better, larger pit, and there is now also a large quarterpipe with a rubberized top and down ramp so you can practise your skills on a proper jump without the risk of major injuries.

Add to that a greatly expanded skatepark (for bikes of course), a larger common area for the extreme course, more stunts, more jumps and a new SRAM Lounge and you've got what has to be the best indoor mountain biking facility in the world.

Hi Bueller, thanks for your comment (after all this time I was starting to think about removing the comment box LOL). Unfortunately I never been there but I believe that there´s more to enjoy than jumps. If you check on their site you´ll find xc courses and lots of offshore platforms to ride on. If you have the chance to visit it please leave us your impressions about it ;)
Have fun!

Nasty concept! I hate putting my bike away in the winter, I suck with jumps though. Need practice.
