Wabash River Ride

The 2011 Wabash River Ride will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2011 from 7 am – 5 pm. The online registration will open on May 21, 2011 and will close on August 14, 2011. Online registration is now closed. Riders can register the day of the event. Registration at the Fort will open at 7:00 a.m. The registration fee, which includes a post-ride barbeque, is $25 before or on Saturday August 14, $30 afterwards. Preview your t-shirt here. T-shirt prices are $12 ($15 day of the ride). Add $2 for sizes 2XL and 3XL. At this year's post-ride banquet, you will enjoy a selection of edibles including BBQ chicken or pork or a vegetarian option, plus tasty and healthful side dishes. I'd ride a 100 miles for that!

33, 47, 67, and 108 Mile Scenic Routes

Picturesque countryside

This year’s Wabash River Ride (WRR) will feature views of the beautiful Wabash River. After many years, we return to Fort Ouiatenon on the Wabash as Home Base. The route treats riders to many of the most scenic vistas of Wabash and Big Pine rivers. This will be a most memorable Wabash River Rider for riders of all abilities.

The routes are designed by regionally-famous cartographer, Charlie Myer, to give you a taste of the diverse terrain and small towns that populate the lush farm lands surrounding the Wabash River.
