So what is up with the pork chop sandwich? Kinda like the fried chicken lunch at the hilly hundred.
Next year: BF meetup? I almost made a thread about Hope and then it slipped my mind altogether.
The pork was a poor choice, I think (curious to see what my Jewish friend thought), and the number of flies on the food was really gross-- thank goodness there was a gas station across the street. The Hoosier Hills Bike Tour (which was, unfortunately, also yesterday) has a great box lunch with your choice of (wrapped) turkey, ham, or veg and cheese sandwiches, excellent pasta salad, chips, apples, and cookies and excellent SAG in between. And no flies on the food.
I think it's my favorite organized ride.
I don't do the Hilly lunches, either, but then I live in Bloomington and I don't really need more than a pack of cheesy peanut butter crackers to get me through one of those rides-- it's home turf. Psimet, you have a stronger stomach than I!
