Conquer the CAB (Carmel Access Bikeway), Bike Carmel’s “Slow Roll Ride” presented by IU Health North Hospital, looks a little different than in past years.
In 2020, riders were all set to Conquer the CAB routes in Carmel by riding them together. But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, event organizers have changed the ride to make it a self-guided event that can be done with family members and friends while observing safe physical distancing.
There are five CAB routes of varying distances. So far, riders have completed the City Center Loop (6.8 miles) in May, the White River Loop (7.2 miles) in June, the West Loop (9.7 miles) in July, and the Village Loop (12.5 miles) in August. This month, the distance will be bumped a bit and riders will conquer the Cool Creek Loop at 13.9 miles.
Now through Sunday, Sept. 20, you can explore the Village Loop and take a photo at any of the various routing signs and post it to the Facebook event.
One rider selected from the pictures posted will be awarded a $50 gift card to a local Carmel business selected from those pictures posted. Click here to see links to each of the five CAB routes, along with printable maps and queue sheets.
The City of Carmel, Bike Carmel and IU Health North Hospital are looking forward to another exciting year of bicycling in the community. More information can be found on the Bike Carmel Facebook page or by emailing bikecarmel@carmel.in.gov. Remember to keep safe physical distancing in mind, wear a mask when appropriate and keep the rubber side down.
