I just started riding and registration is closed :(. Then again, it's probably best that I don't go since I'm not quite sure if I can do 20 miles yet. 3-4 miles in hilly Bloomington really wears me out. But I'll more than likely be there next year. :)

You can register on arrival! It's $27 bucks, you just won't get the T-Shirt!

Well, it said on the site that chances are it will be sold out, and I live in Bloomington. But I might make the trip up. But like I said before, I'm afraid of the 20 mile thing. Is it hilly? Because Bloomington can be and it kills me.

Nope, iyt's pretty flat! If all else fails, and I can't get registered, I'll freeride it. I'll try to register first though. I couldn't get the online preregistration either.

Sorry, I can't make it. COPS is on TV tonight. Besides, the event is a little out of my way :D

Have fun, BE SAFE and we expect pics in the morning.

It was a great night (no pun) for a ride. Cool, a bit humid. TONS of riders.

The whole night went over 50 miles for me, 20 on the organized ride itself. A group of 11 of us left the shop on the east side of Indy at 5:30, caught dinner downtown, rode to the ride, I went home to take care of the pooch, ride, then back downtown for breakfast then back to the shop. Fun times!

Man, I wish I'd known for sure you were going! There were several of us Bike Forum folk in a gang! I'd have sent you my cell phone number!:eek:

Hey, I'm sorry I never made it up. I just bought a Trek 7.2FX yesterday and after an 8 mile ride on it(:)) I started noticing some wrist pain so I'm getting bar ends on it, but they weren't on in time for the NITE ride. :(
