We hope you’re not feeling two-tired, because the IU Health Momentum Indy bike festival returns will multiple races and events on Friday, July 12 and Saturday, July 13, promising excitement for cyclists and spectators alike. Here’s everything we know about this year’s lineup.

Indy will welcome pro and amateur cyclists from across the country for the festival’s two criterium (or “crit”) races: the Mass Ave Crit on Friday, July 12 and the Indy Crit on Saturday, July 13. The former is a stop on the American Criterium Cup professional series + features technically difficult turns that will make for a challenging ride and an exciting event to watch.

Beginner to advanced cyclists have the opportunity to ride the Honor Major Taylor Fondo — a race with 14- to 62-mile routes that kicks off on Saturday, July 13 at 9 a.m.

In addition to these three biking events, there will be multiple kids races and an expo with “all things biking” as well as food + drink vendors.
