Velonauts Bluegrass Ride

June 12-14, 2010 we will be taking a ride from Indianapolis to Orange County Indiana for the Lotus Dickey Hometown Reunion, an annual bluegrass festival. We will be leaving Friday the 12th at 8 am sharp, head to Bloomington for lunch and will be staying in Mitchell, IN for the evening. Saturday morning we will head on to Orleans where the festival is being held. That night we will ride about 11 miles to Paoli for dinner and sleep. Sunday morning we will be heading back to Indianapolis, leaving at about 8 am. We will again probably break for lunch in Bloomington and then back to Indy. It's about 100 miles each way, give or take, depending on the final route. There will be SAG support, sleeping provisions don't include beds, so sleeping bags, mats and the like will be supplied by each rider. Only four meals will be provided, dinner on Friday and Saturday and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. You will need plenty of snacks, water and money for the trip.

Some money will be needed to pay for the SAG and meals, however, it is somewhat dependent on the number of riders as to what each one will pay, but we will have an idea as we find out how many riders will be coming.

This should be a really fun ride, relaxed for the most part. We'll see some beautiful country, hear some great bluegrass and maybe even catch a movie or two at the Drive-In. Comment if you'd be up for it so we can get an idea of how many people are interested.

Yee-haw.
