It's that time of year!
For 23 years, Louisville has hosted the National Bicycle League's (NBL) Grand National, on Labor Day Weekend. It's probably one of the best kept secret events in Louisville, due to a football game taking place during the same weekend. I wanted to invite all of you, IF you have time, to come and see what has been going on at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park for the past 23 years and realize the impact of a BMX track could have on New Albany. I've attended a couple park board meetings and when I made my case for a BMX track here in New Albany, you could almost see the glaze fall over the park board members eyes. Many of our local riders (Clarksville, New Albany) are ranked at the top of there classification. Myself and Weston Pope are in contention for national titles. Here's a link to our local track, which is an all volunteer organization. If it were not for the parents and riders, BMX would not exist in Louisville. It's a great family sport, where the entire family can participate. BMX is probably one of the only sports, where you DON'T sit the bench! So come on out!

I'll have to miss it this year owing to vacation, but you're right about it being little-known. Maybe next year; I'm serious about coming out and seeing what you guys do -- if I can just get schedules coordinated.
The Indiana BikeFest is that weekend as well in Jasper.
