Our good friends at ACME Bicycle Co are hosting their third annual Neutral Ground event on Saturday June 7th in Katonah, NY and you won’t want to miss it!

For the 3rd year in a row, ACME is hosting road and gravel rides (your choice on distance and pace) in a popular “enduro” format, where folks can ride at a social pace and then race a few timed sectors if they choose! There is something for everyone out there on gorgeous upstate roads and forests.

Alongside the riding portion, there will once again be an expo featuring some of our favorite bike industry brands where you can chat with experts and check out new gear.

And finally, amazing food, drink, and music will all be on tap and included with your registration.

To participate in this year’s rides and to keep the groups to a manageable size, you will need to pre-reg: https://www.bikereg.com/neutral-ground, but we promise you, the great food & prizes are well worth it. The expo is free to attend for all!
