RAIN: Has official stops at 40, 63, 90, 130'ish, with plenty of food, water, restrooms, etc... Plus plenty of stores along the route for whatever you might need. Easy enough to do without a SAG. SAG's really help if going for time etc... Also transportation to and from can be a challenge, although there are a couple buses that go back to Terra Haute.

HILLY: Best to Camp and enjoy the weekend. I usually just go for the ride. I don't think the hills are that bad, most are fairly short, plus daily mileage is only 50 miles. Still not sure why they have fried chicken for lunch? Nice big vendor tent. The 27 would be better then the 25. Spinning is easier on the legs IMO.

Both are well run events, I think you would enjoy both.
