Devou Park MTB Trails

Get Righteous w/ Ribbon Cutting, Group Rides and All Sorts of Two-Wheeled Festivities

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for Phase II – which adds a remarkable four more miles of trails – will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2013 as part of a full day of bike-utopia in Covington, KY.  The Day starts at Roebling Point at 9am for Bike. Pop. Wow, the first pop-up bike shop ever in the Cincinnati metro area (9am to noon, located on Park Place between Court St. and Greenup St. in the Roebling Point neighborhood.)

The day continues with the Ribbon Cutting ceremony for the new trails at Devou Park.  This portion of the day starts at 1pm at the incinerator, which is located at the base of the trail off Sleepy Hollow Rd.

Group riding and general mischief will commence after the informal formalities of opening the new section of trails at 1pm.  Evening festivities will continue from 4pm until ? at Simpler Times Bar and Grill in Ludlow, KY.  Media, dignitaries and, of course, families of hikers, runners and mountain bike riders of all ages are invited to attend.

Please help celebrate our privilege to enjoy natural surface trails within Devou Park this May 11.  This pretty much means that Covington is the center of the universe for two-wheeled talent and upright raucousness. Attending both events via self propulsion makes the day even more raucous.

 

Behind the scenes at Devou Park Backcountry Trails

Trail Expansion Project

Trail expansion in Devou Park is a multi-year, multi-phase project.  The Devou Park Trail Expansion Project is a joint effort between the Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance, the Kentucky Mountain Bike Association, and the City of Covington.
Devou Park is a 703-acre park managed by the City of Covington Administration.  William Devou purchased the Eubank house (current Behringer-Crawford Museum) and land in 1848.  In 1910, the land was given to the City of Covington by the Devou family in memory of their parents (the donation stipulated that the land must be used as a free park to the public).

Tuesday Road Rides have begun!

World famous. This ride is open to all road bikers including beginners, the only prerequisites being 1) you have a road bike 2) helmet and 3) lights.

The route differs every week. There are three ride groups for different skill/intensity levels :

  1. Medium-Starter: This group generally stays on flatter ground. The pace is generally 14-16 mph on flat ground and slows up the hills. 15-28 miles
  2. Medium-Fast: Faster and more hills. Average speed on flat ground 18-20 mph, 25-35 miles.
  3. Race-Pace: Extremely fast, averages 25-30 mph when on flat ground. Bike handling skills a must, sometimes fun, but always a good workout. Four preset routes as this group is a “drop-ride.”

Meet at the shop around 6 and leave at 6:15pm sharp. Pumps, changing rooms and bathroom available. If it’s raining, we will have a trainer session in the studio. Ride at your own risk, you are responsible for your own safety.

Obtain fine Italian eye protection at the lowest prices of a lifetime!  We are moving all our remaining Rudy Project glasses for just $100 a pair. Shop early for the best selection! Buy an early Christmas gift.  Our inventory includes many models with Rudy Project’s award winning Photochromic ImpactX lenses.

According to a CIA dossier- ImpactX was born in the USA in the early 1990′s when the U.S. Government contracted Simula Technologies to develop a new bullet-proof, transparent, and light-weight material capable of providing superior protection, reliability and longer lasting performance than polycarbonate. In other words, if it’s good enough to protect the president, it’s good enough for your riding glasses.

BONUS INFO – Many of the lenses are clear at night and dark during the day, perfect for the fall/winter riding season. Read more →
