TRIRI anyone?

[Kathi]

I'm originally from Cincinnati and have done 4 summer TriRi's and 1 fall TriRi, Sept 04. Food is served in the lodges and is good and plentiful. The accomodations in the lodges are also pretty nice.

The weather for the fall TriRi was hot, humid and windy. We didn't have rain but got the humidity and wind from whatever hurricane that was hitting Florida in Sept of 04. However, it was rainy and cool the year before.

The area around Brown Cty is very hilly with some good steep clilmbs. In Brown Cty SP they will shuttle you to the lodge because the road is so windy and narrow it's not to safe to ride. Once you get out of the Brown Cty area the terrain flattens with longer not so steep climbs. Near Indy its pretty flat.

Joe and his wife have been doing TriRi for years and do a very good job. The roads, except near towns, are very low traffic roads.

Keep in mind that Joe goes out of his way to prove that Indiana is not flat. So he will route you on the hilliest route you can find.

We had thought about going back this year to do it but lost the desire to make the long drive back.

Enjoy

Thanks for all the replies. I'm getting so excited about this tour! Hubby assures me we will be fine on the hills. Turkey Run and McCormick's creek were always special places to me as a teenager, and it will be interesting to see if they differ much from my memories of them.
