Anyone Wanna Ride to Indiana Dunes?

I'm thinking we could leave early on a Saturday, stay the night, and then head back Sunday afternoon. It's about 50 miles, so probably take 5 hours or so. I've never ridden it, so if anyone has a path or suggestions, post em!

Maybe last weekend in May or First in June...?

By Amy do you mean Anne? I've got a two person.

Let me know if this is accurate
Tent Count:
Brett - 2 person tent
Amy - 2 person tent
Shar - 6 plus
Brandon - 2 Person
Josh - 2 person

Total - Enough tents to fit 14 people
If our count is accurate, this should be more than enough...

Anne:

I can haul your tent if need be. If you want, let's touch base prior to next Friday and figure out logistics and stuff.


Anne said:
No worries. I'm going to friend all the Friday people to exchange numbers and figure out our tent situation that night. If at all possible, I'd like Jami to bring mine up on Saturday, too. Can you tell I'm a bit nervous about the hauling?

Hey guys- I'm just curious about what time we decided on to meet at the fountain on FRIDAY. Also, Im beginning to get a little nervous about hauling all this gear- ha! What's our ETA friday?

i will not have my new bike ready for the trip, so it looks like im stuck with putting all the stuff on my back. So...the 6 man tent needs to arrive by other means. i can bring my 2man no prob, but the six man is big and heavy. im not sure splitting up the tent gear is an option do to how its packed neatly together, and if it does get split up (among the saturday morning riders), everyone would need a way of securing it either to their bags or preferably bikes. i will pick up the tent from my friend in the beggining of the week and figure out the best way to repackage it. but...i may ultimately need help from the friday crew or car.

erick... we should still consider driving out on friday night dropping the stuff off. And still ride out there on Saturday. Jami can bring our stuff back on Sunday still. She just won't have much to bring on Saturday.

Yep...i'm still willing to bring whatever down Saturday night....or just bringing more stuff back on Sunday. I know the ride back is always harder than the ride to a place (at least it is for me!), so the car can always lighten the load.

And I also have a two person tent if it is needed, though I'm guessing no?

So sorry, I just got word in the shop that one of our clients is sending us a whole mess of work. They asked me to come in on Saturday. I will try to show up on Saturday if I manage to get most of the work done during the week.

12:30 at the fountain was my understanding...

That should get us to the Dunes by dinner time I'm thinking.
