Hey, don't laugh. There is a charity ride in our area that's called the Tour de Corn http://www.tourdecorn.com/. It's the flatest 100 miles you've ever seen! The only hill is when you go over the levee!Originally Posted by Catrin
Yep - and thankfully there are enough TE members in our two states that she will get a good "Tour de Illin-diana" hmmmm "Tour de Corn"?

That sounds like a ride I could manage.
What is karst topography? (Yeah, I could Google it, but I'm wondering why you think it's special enough to suggest it.)

It isn't flat corn fields - it doesn't fit most peoples idea of what Indiana looks like Originally Posted by channlluv

Also some very sweet single-track is found in southern Indiana at our largest state park - I think she would like to see that

Roxy, I've done the ride 3 times and while flat sounds nice, it seems the wind blows every direction you turn. You know, that north-south-east-west wind? And with no hills, you HAVE TO PEDAL THE ENTIRE TIME!!! No breaks on the downhills. Originally Posted by channlluv
