Welcome Fellow Trail Riders  

The Bent Trail Riders is a non-profit organization of recumbent (bicycle) enthusiasts.  We are dedicated to promoting both recumbent bicycles, and the use of bicycle trails.  Since our founding in March of 1999 we have grown to well over 200 members!  

 We have a monthly club ride the third Sunday of each month from March thru October.   Please check the club calendar for details of where to meet and other great events.  

Experienced riders, newbies and non - recumbent riders are always welcome to join us.  We start and finish our rides at the same place, so riders can team up with riders of similar abilities.  While some go only a few miles out and back, others will log up to a 100 miles in a day.  

The fifth annual "Summer Heat" Bike Rally held at Shawnee Park August 10, & 11, 2003 was a huge success.    Over 30 riders enjoyed our evening meal.  Riders came from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Canada.

This year's Summer Heat Rally will even bigger!  Save the weekend of August 14 & 15, 2004 for another great regional rally with rides for all levels of riders, camaraderie, cookout, etc.  This year's rally will be held at Shawnee Park in Xenia, OH.  "The bicycle capitol of the Midwest."

Want to keep in touch with other recumbent riders?  Find an impromptu ride partner, or get advice on tires, gears or whatever you need.  As long as it's related to recumbents, ask the group for advice, or send us a trip report of a recent adventure. Join the Bent Trail Riders email list server called benttrailriders@yahoogroups.com.  Join this group (FREE!) and communicate directly with all other members who have signed up.
