"The Goat Ride" is a funding ride for the
Indiana Bicycle Coalition and Brown County State Park.
The Routes: There will be four routes which vary in length and difficulty. Riders can do this event "The Easy Way" or the "NOT so Easy Way"!! Each route will be clearly marked and loops back to the registration tents located by the swimming pool inside the north entrance of Brown County State Park. Lunch and snacks/water/gatorade will be served under the tents throughout the day. Riders can complete as many of the routes as they wish and will receive a completion coin for each route that they finish. Some of the routes are more difficult than others but all wind through beautiful southern Indiana! You like hills? We got HILLS! Preview the routes. Maps and wristbands for re-entry to the park will be issued on event day to each rider. "The Witch" is one of the routes - YIKES! The name says it all! But the 25 mile "Baby Bear" will suit pleasure riders just fine! Depending on your route choices, The Goat Ride is appropriate for both recreational cyclists and endurance riders looking for a tough workout. We would recommend, however, that you be able to complete at least a 25 mile ride on your own without difficulty in order to sign up for this event. Make sure you have proper gearing on your bike for the bigger climbs or ya might be walkin'!
Brown County State Park: Beautiful! Brown County State Park is a wonderful place to visit. Hiking, swimming, tennis, and horse back riding are all available. Overnight camping is available at two very nice campgrounds inside the park. Call 812-988.6406 for reservations. Make reservations early! There are also many campgrounds and hotels outside of the park in Nashville that offer good rates and services. The park offers showers at the swimming pool for $2 for sweaty riders!
The Prizes: Prizes? At a touring ride? That’s right! We’ll have lots of random drawings and fun contests going on throughout the day under the registration tents in the park. Prizes are being donated by Gray Goat Sports and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Is it a race?: No. Start at your leisure and travel at your own pace. Course closes at 3:00 p.m.
