Sometimes we ride in that direction... we usually have a short loop of 16 miles that we start out with then come back to teh lot and meet up with others that didn't want to get up earlier, we then band back up and usually got out for another 25 - 40 miles. We usually try to target for total of 40 -50 miles with avg speed of 18-20, depending on route and whos in the group. Its usually a no drop ride... or what for others to catch up at the intersections of roads.
Its a good bunch of guys, most (10-15) are regulars and then we have others that show up at different times of the year. Ages for the group are 17 up to 65, pretty salty bunch that enjoys the riding scene.
We are now into the MTB part of the year... too cold to ride road in the mornings.
If your interested, I can post our planned ride for the week when its sent out on email... we welcome anyone whos interested in riding. We had 7 of us meet at New Harmony park this morning to ride the trails... got in 12 miles, but it was a cold 12!!!

I guess I'll be the first to post in the new forum... Who else rides road when they can't/aren't in the dirt?
We got a regular group of guys in the E-ville area that meets on Saturday mornings during the warmer months at USI... anyone interested in more jumping in, let me know.

Sorry to bring this post up from the past... but there are a lot of guys in my group that ride more road, including myself. I find I get more saddle time and training in... although I would rather be on the dirt bike, its just easier to take off from the house.
We get about 10-20 regulars together on Saturday morning and ride from USI. As it gets later in the year, like now, then we get more MTB time in.
If you haven't named a column yet, just call it "Roadies"

I got up at 0600 and checked outside... it was already sprinkling. Was hoping it would hold off till about 1000. So I just sat around the house till it was time to go to work.
I'm hoping it might dry up enough to ride on Friday, but I doubt it. We have had a good soaking and it has finally quit here in mtv.
We are supposed to have group ride there on Saturday morning... we'll see

Was pumped up about getting out and riding today... loaded up and headed to New Harmony to do a couple hours by myself. Pulled into the park and was stopped at the guardhouse... I forgot that it was time for the deer reduction hunt. It will be back open tomorrow, so I'll have to try it again before I head to work. Good thing I only live about 15 minutes away... ;D

Hi, Im Kent. Am 44 years old... whew. I live in Mount Vernon and have lived in this area all my life. I'm married to my wonderful wife and have 3 children.
Been riding MTB since about '94, and riding the road since about '04. I put in more miles on the road, but MTB is still my number one choice.
Stable includes a GT RTS-1 for the trails, yeah its old but still strong. Looking to retire it soon, looking to get a Yeti ASR or Cannondale Scalpel. My road bike is a Specialized Tarmac...
Glad I found this forum and might be able to meet up with some other folks riding.
