In the winter of 2014 the SR SUNTOUR crew went on a road trip to visit Rays Indoor Bike park in Milwaukee WI and Cleveland OH. We invited along two of our favorite ambassadors Eric Carter and Brett Tippie; loaded a van with bikes, product, a megaphone and headed east from Madison WI. The following is a short recap of the 4-day journey.

Lots of gear and like all good road trips this was as organized as it got.

Eric Carter is one smart racer he studies finds the line and goes for the win. He never lost a Beat the pro race came close but always found ways to shave time.

This was a great event and we are already planning on doing it again in 2015, we hope to see you there. Until then, ride often.

We want to give a special thanks to Ray Petro who had a vision and created these great places, it’s much appreciated!

 It is. I live about twenty five minutes from there. I don't go all that often but it's always a blast. If you go at the right time you can pretty much get the place to yourself.

 We had so much fun on this trip…. So many stories in such a short period of time…. I had never spent any time with Tippie… The energy from that guy could light Vegas!… Thanks to Rays and Suntour for such a great time.
