Yep, Silver and I joined the Bloomington Cycling Club on their annual Breaking Away Ride visiting scenes from the movie:
Silver at the Stoller House:
Part of the group turning south along the route of Race Cinzano:
The famous serenade window at the Tri-Delt house:
The location of the "slap" scene (Silver wouldn't pose):
The Mill - "He looks like a safety inspector or a union organizer"
And last night, what are the odds that I'd get to park my 280SL (similar to the one in the movie) next to a nearly identical one???

I almost forgot!
We rode on the cinder track for the Little 500 as well.
That was tough! I was trying to sustain 20mph and could barely even attain it!If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

Those are great pics, Mr. Silver!
It's so funny you posted this. I had never seen this old movie. The dvd was a gift from someone and I finally got around to watching it about a week ago.
Oh, how my heart broke when the Italians trashed the poor boy on his dream ride. Gheez. I'm such a sap
lol.
It looks like it was great time. Glad you and Silver got to do it.

Did you go to the quarry for a dip? One of my all time favorite movies!

Here's the entrance to the quarry - no permission - no trespassing - the road in the middle.
I'll say that I did not go in...my plans remain subject to the 5th amendment

Would love to do it next year if they go. Shoot me an email should it happen.
Another things about the pair of Mercedes, it looks like you are both parking challenged :-)

It might be worth a trip to Indiana next summer just to do that ride. It looks like great fun. I love that movie.

I'm sorry I missed the ride. I get sort of weepy at the end of that movie (when they sing the fight song to be exact). It makes me miss IU and Bloomington.

Divingbiker: let us know when and where... My guess is that between our respective clubs, we could find someone to lend you an extra...if you're close by
