HORSE FARM website
The Horse Farm 100 is a tour through the picturesque horse farms of northern Marion County. The century will start at the First Magnitude Brewery. Hundreds of charging cyclists will take to the streets. Expect cohesive packs into the first rest stop in Flemington.
The rides proceed through the north Marion County horse farms, past miles of wooden fences surrounding manicured pastures, many with prancing thoroughbreds who will occasionally race you along the fence. Early riders may catch a jockey working out the next triple crown winner on one of the practice racetracks along the route.
Near the end of the ride, you’ll pass through Paynes Prairie State Park, crossing over the prairie, a wild expanse that hosts wild buffalos and horses.
Check the website for details on the shorter rides and the gravel rides.
