The Chris Clark Bicycle Stunt Show was developed to inspire children and young adults to find an active, healthy passion and use their desire to constantly improve as a means for keeping their lives on track, making healthy decisions and surrounding themselves with like-minded friends.

During his high energy presentations, professional cyclist Chris Clark shares his story of growing up with a passion for cycling and how he used that passion to make friends, stay healthy, and even as an excuse to avoid the peer pressures all children face.

Each presentation focuses on responsible practice techniques, incremental increases in difficulty, and the importance of helmet safety.

Following the speaking portion of the program, Chris demonstrates what is possible with hard work and dedication with an exhibition of the skills he has developed in his years of national and international cycling competition. Attendees see first-hand what can be achieved when you stay safe, stay healthy, and follow your passion.

Meet at the Try Cycling area at 7 p.m. for an evening illuminating ride. Bring your bike and your glowing accessories, and get a chance to check out Huffy’s Electro-Light Bikes/Scooters. The ride will be a 1.5-mile loop around the event footprint.

You can plan a trip any time during the weekend. The river is always open (unless there is severe flooding, which is not likely in October). There are 62 miles of canoe- and kayak-friendly water from Bellefontaine to Eastwood MetroPark. Anglers will be excited to know brown trout are available from Bellefontaine to Springfield. Below the city of Springfield downstream to Downtown Dayton, smallmouth bass become more prevalent. The Mad River is a swift moving spring-fed stream that offers great water for beginners as well as a couple of rapid sections that will interest the advanced boater.
