RAIN Moves On 

The Bloomington Bicycle Club’s beloved RAIN ride is nearly 40 years old, having been first ridden by a handful of BBC riders in the late 1980s. Sadly, the ride has become too much for our club to continue running, partly because it is outside of our club’s riding area and because new activities closer to home are becoming more attractive to our riders.

We are looking for a new organization to take on RAIN and keep it going for its devoted riders. RAIN’s new custodians could comprise other bicycle clubs, a nonprofit organization, or a bicycle tour company, among other possibilities. If you or an organization you work with are interested in taking over RAIN, please email us at rain@rainride.org. We deeply appreciate the many enthusiastic riders and volunteers who have been on this journey with us. Please let us know if you can help us find a new home for RAIN.

 

RAIN is a one-day bicycle ride across Indiana that is in its 36th year. The 160-mile course runs from West Terre Haute to Richmond, following the Historic National Road (US 40) for much of the way. The ride is sponsored by the Bloomington Bicycle Club.

RAIN has been named a Midwest Best-in-Class event by Strambecco.
