Steve, You've picked an excellent route! We need to be in MI that weekend, I'm really sorry to be missing it. Have a good ride and hopefully, it'll happen again.

[doubletee]

Thanks, Steve.

Depending upon my mother in-law's health that weekend, we may be able to make it. It'll also give us a chance to ride over to our old home town of Jasper on Sunday and see how much has changed since we left there in 1997. It'll be a last minute decision for us, unfortunately.

If all goes well and you want riding companions let me know. I'll be leaving mid morning that friday.

Thanks, Brian. Will do, though, I don't think we'll be able to leave Ft. Wayne until late afternoon that Friday. We'll see how it goes. I'll definitely let you know if we can join up with you for the ride down.

[Nodrog]

I may have to try to make this one!

[Squealy]

Hey Rainmain, you going into Hawesville, KY, just to go? or is there a stop there?  If you are planning on going to the Riverview in Hawesville, it's CLOSED and as far as I know they have no plans to reopen any time soon....  BTW- I have family in Hawesville and I spend quite abit of time there....

Probley count me in for this ride....  I'll ride down to Corydon on Saturday morning and either ride to my place in Hawesville Saturday evening or back Home (about 2 hours north)....

[rainman]

Maybe we can get enough Hoosiers there so we can figure out what we are going to do for a Hoosier Ride In next year. HINT HINT

already thinking about next year and looking at different routes to take and where to start from. any ideas would be great.  looking at about 5 different starting points.

[Jabba]

I keep thinking that French Lick would be a good place to have it.  Lots of hotels and great roads.

We have 40 acres and a cabin in shoals.  We could offer camping, and night time bon-fire and whatever.  We even have a flush crapper, and shower there... although only a 40 gal electric water heater.  It's only about 20-25 minutes from French Lick.

Jabba

[scoobydoo]

Jabba, come on down for the ride and let's talk about it. French Lick is a nice spot. I just was to get something going so we don't miss it next year. I'm willing to help get it back going.

NEW DETAILS ON FALL RIVER RIDE

[scoobydoo]

hey Steve I think there is a time change between Evansville and Corydon.  I'll check on it next week when I get back from Florida. See ya then.
Scoobydoo

[rainman]

Phil corydon is one hour a head of you all

[doubletee]

Is anyone staying over Saturday night after the ride? (Pool party, anyone?) We'll probably go to Jasper after the ride and stay there for the night. As mentioned earlier, we used to live in Jasper and plan to see how/if it has changed over the years.

[rainman]

Hey doubletee 
No one has said anything about spending sat. night any where. Those that are going north can fellow me back to bloomington and stay the night closer to home. I will be taking hwy145 to 64 and 37 back home.

[Squealy]

I will be taking hwy145 to 64 and 37 back home.

That's the way I'll be heading home too....

[fudgie]

Well hell, I was plan on staying Sat night to.  Didn't want to hit it to hard the night before the ride.  I guess I'll see what Po & Painter are doing and if they make it. If they are staying, so will we. Kit hasn't seen them in a year. It'll be nice to set and chat over a case of PBR. 

[rainman]

maybe next year we can have a longer ride say ride in on fri. and ride sat. and return to the motel for a night of B.S.  this ride was put together at the last min.  and to see just how many would like to have this every year.  Fri. night we can talk about the coming year and Phill and I can start planning for it.

hope to see you all Fri. Oct 8
ride safe.

[fudgie]

What time do you think the ride will be over? Are we ending it back at the hotel?

[Reb]

 

Hey fudgie here is the exit sign to the Motel Saturday night, can't miss it

[rainman]

What time do you think the ride will be over? Are we ending it back at the hotel?

the ride ends at bridseye.  If you are going back to the motel in corydon you are 42 miles away.  you will need to take hwy 64 east to 135 south and then to the motel. wish I could return back but I have family comment's on sun. that I can't get out of.

[fudgie]

Hey fudgie here is the exit sign to the Motel Saturday night, can't miss it

Hey thats great! 

You gonna make it?

[Reb]
