This may need to be reposted in an event forum, but for now...
My "build buddy" Bruce gave me a book of "Motorcycling Across indiana" with many routes laid out. I'm going to take one and build or subtract to it. Basically, its 192 miles, plus how far it takes you to get to martinsville, fo me about 50 miles. There are several places you can short cut it and head home early. I intend to do the whole route.
OK, so here's the deal. This is less an organized ride than a notice that I will be someplace, intend to go someplace else, and you're welcome to join in. If I don't put it in print it will never happen.
On Sept 25 I WILL be at SE corner of Hwy 37 and #252. Silver FJR. I don't know how much room there is on the apron there so I may be at the first cut out East of 67 on 252. You get in the left turn lane on 67, and turn onto 252E you'll hit me. At 8:30AM. Kickstands up 8:45. East to Mrgantown, S on 135 to Bean Blossom, left on unnumbered road into the sticks to Salt Lick Creek Road south to 46 and first rest stop/gas stop. This will bypass Nashville which may be crowded. Maybe 50 miles so far, good place to turn home if need be.
Pick up 135S again thru Story and FreeTown, West on 58 to Norman Springs, Heltonville (Catch 446N to home here if need be) to Bedford and second major stop. Grab 37N for home if need be. About 100 miles so far from start. Next is Top 10 Road #450S about 25miles long, be ready to grin. 450 terms at 50W, go 6 miles to 231N, relax to 58E, to 45N (there is a 10 miles stretch we can take or bypass, excellent roads, depend on weather, fatigue, etc); to43N to Spencer, jog W to 231, N to 67N to Martinsville. Pick your poison to get home. That last 100 mile stretch doesn't have much by way of big places to pull over, but we'll find something. I like to regroup about every 50 miles or so, Tylenol, water, etc.
I follow the PACE, you are responsible for the person behind you. Nothing fancy.
