Subject to Pentagon approval, we have a Ride 2 Recovery event tentatively slated to occur at NSWC Crane - a naval facility in INDIANA on May 22.
Proceeds benefit injured veterans.
I'm on the leadership committee and I assure you that this event is being planned with military precision!
What will make this different? It's located on the remote facility meaning that there is virtually NO TRAFFIC and WELL PAVED ROADS!
This will be a first year event, so it will likely not be too crowded. It will be full of heavily wooded and beautiful routes of 15, 31, 50, and 65 miles. Lots of hills.
Check google maps for a satellite view of Crane (it's north of Loogootee Indiana...you can't miss it). It's 32 miles southwest of Bloomington - location of Breaking Away, Mellencamp's Small Town, and host to the Hilly Hundred.
Best lodging is available in Washington, Bedford, and Bloomington.
I welcome guests at my condo in Bloomington, but since Silver and I are divorcing, I'd prefer to host more than one guest to avoid any improper appearances.
Welcome guest, is this your first visit? Click the "Create Account" button now to join.

Mr. S.
Sounds like a great ride. Thanks for the head's up. I'll be sure to tell Brian about it. It would provide a great opportunity for you to meet him.Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
