You've peeked my intrest. Single or fixed, just no gears right? It has been ages since I was in Indy last. Where in relation will the shenanigans be taking place in comparison to say, the Union Station mall you all have there?

[onegear]

single or fixed! i'll be riding a SS karate monkey. it would be cool to have some fixies in the mix.

Union Station has gone the way of most historic places, unfortunately. It's now a school, offices, etc. it's still there, just no longer a mall. it was definitely pretty cool in its day.

not sure what the exact path is going to be, this year, but i do know we're riding from broad ripple to downtown indy and then back up to broad ripple again (is that correct, randy?). there's a great brew pub in broad ripple where we'll get a couple pints and then there are great places downtown, as well. broad ripple is located in the north part of indy inside the 465 loop. i think it's something like 8 to 10 miles or so from downtown. indy's pretty spread out. it'll make for a great ride.

where are you located? it would be cool to have some out-of-towners! :-)

The route will be a mix of The Canal Towpath, city streets, Crown Hill Cemetery, downtown streets and alleyways, The Moron Trail and then the finale will be on the streets of Broad Ripple. Stay until the end, because that is when the fun starts!!!! :eek:

Bump - Sunday is the day!!!!!!!

[onegear]

be there at noon!!!!

the forecast is calling for mostly sunny and 75 degrees!!! of course, this is indiana so it will probably be snowing by then.......

[rfritz]

Yeah - I am freezing my ass of today, so I don't think it will warm up any by then. I hope it doesn't, I am taking Rolan to the Zoo tomorrow in his monkey costume and it is made of fleece. :D

[onegear]

kind of sucks..........

the forecast is now calling for sunny with temps in the mid 80's and wind gusts of up to 33 mph. what the hell is up with this indiana weather? it's supposed to be in the low 60's this time of year?

oh, well.......

yeah, i saw the pics of rolan on the horse. he's definitely got the randy and mary hair! :-)

[onegear]

the ROSS kicked ass, this year!!!!! we had a great turnout and good beer! we had some pretty strong wind gusts but we dealt with it (the beer helped).

next ROSS will be even better!
