  • Rays Indoor Mountain Bike Park was build inside an industrial warehouse and to this day is the most unique bike parks in the world. Located in Cleveland Ohio, Rays MTB Park repurposed an abandoned warehouse and turned it into a Mountain Bike and BMX wonderland.

    The beauty of Ray’s is that there is something for everyone. An expert like Phil can bounce around, make up new lines and have a great day. A beginner can spend a day as well and never get over their head while pushing themselves. Only visited once a few years ago but had a blast.

    Every time I see a video from Rays I’m constantly blown away by how much they cram in there! So fun to get a virtual tour in this video, wish it wasn’t so far away (or had an excuse to be in the area!)

    Ray's was my first real MTB experience. I bought a cheap (but expensive for me a the time!) hardtail at a local bike shop and went single track once and then bam, Winter-time in the snowbelt. Thank the Gods for Ray's. Yes, this place is overwhelming but a true Mecca of MTB goodness and run by an awesome crew.

    Man, I love Ray's. I have lived in the area for nearly two decades but somehow never knew this place existed until a few months ago. After my first trip I was hooked and I'll definitely be getting a season pass next year. It's a playground for anyone who likes their biking to involve ups and downs, regardless of skill level.
    Wish I had known you were in town, I couldn't have kept up but it would have been fun to watch.
    I think I've run in to your new buddy Nick too, I'm pretty sure he was the guy who taught my friend and I a few things about pedals while we were catching our breath between sessions on the little triple jump set. Nice guy if so.

      I used to hit Rays Milwaukee a bunch before it closed. I saw kids there on bikes so small it blew my mind. Strider sized, but with pedals. There were a few that could not have been more than 5 that were ripping. I will be making the drive to Cleveland at least once this winter.
