Ray’s lived up to expectations, in fact, it far surpassed them! I’ve been dreaming of riding here for quite some time. Some of my friends from the mid-west have posted videos and photos. My friend in Las Vegas has visited both of them while working to get a bike park built (
The Hub, the project has been stalled for now, but I want to help him get it off the ground again!). When I looked at the maps and our race schedules I almost did a flip on my bed! Ray’s is only open every other Sunday in the summer time. We lucked out with a Saturday race and a flight out of MKE and a Sunday between the two where it was open. I talked Evelyn and Crystal into joining me (which was easy, but slightly nerve wracking since National Championships are less than a week away and we all want to do our best there). We all had a crazy good time and luckily no injuries were incurred. We rented dirt jumpers and explored all the open lines. The lighting was really low so the photos didn’t turn out, but you can get the idea.
They have a 4 turn pump track, a wood skills/bridge area and a longer jump line. No gaps, no drops (unless you make it that way), just keep the rubber side down and rolling and you’ll have nothing but fun! I’m telling you this, every one of you readers: if you are in a 4 hour driving radius of either
Ray’s bike park, do it. Absolutely do it! You will not regret the effort, it just might be one of the best afternoons you ever have!
