A friend and I will be in town for a week, He needs to keep putting on miles for a big ride in France later in August[about 65 miles/day 7 times in of 8 days]. I'll be too busy to hit the roads with him.

Is there anyone from the Muncie area here that can be company for him on some 50-65 mile rides?
Or know of someone else that can?

Thanks!

I could possibly do it a couple days. I can't do it every day. How fast is he looking at riding?

I'm trying to locate some riding groups near there as well.

We ride 30 mile rides at at about 17-19 mph.
I found a club in Richmond: http://www.richmond.cyclers.com/
and The Delaware club at: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/auxier-jay/dcc/

I found posts from you in a search I did earlier. They were from '02, I didn't know if you were still around. Great that you are!

Yes, I was gone for a while. Well, until just a few days ago. I'm trying to become more active in all the forums I'm in.

30 miles at 17-19 is doable for me. I may have to look into the Delaware club. I'm also thinking of starting a group in New Castle, about 20-30 mins. south of Delaware County.

Come down to Indy, and do some CIBA rides. We get lots of people on weekends, and teh weekday training rides are awesome. Here's the link-------> www.cibaride.org

The good news, he'll be using his mountain bike fitted with street tires and drop bars so he expects his ride speed to be a little lower.

He can't go out whenever he wants as his kids activities require his presence at times too.

kobyj, send me a message with your phone number and I'll have him call you. I talked with him last night on that.

bpohl, I wish we had a club like that around here. I've already sent him the link to your club and the Delaware one.
