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...?

Hey, Lindsay:

I was one of the people on the 3-floyds "Dark Lord" ride you did a few weeks back.

I'd be down for this...let's just make sure everyone bring lots of spare inner tubes and patch kits (for passing through Hammond, IN), and hope for better weather!

Welcome Brett!! Brandon and Joe, it's gonna be Trader Joes vs Whole Foods! How about we make it first week in June, June 6th....Hope you guys can get off work, I'll tell my boss man today. And Joe, you should probably carry extra chain rings, you never know when it's just going to fall off.

June 6 works for me...

Joe, I think the bike gods owe you one. As such, the chances of you breaking two chain rings in one lifetime are slim to none.

Since we're gonna have a lot more gear than normal, this might be the excuse I needed to get a bike trailer. If I get one, I'll be happy to haul a couple of things that people can't fit on their bikes. It appears Elliot has a trailer as well, assuming he wants to use it.

I forgot to add the link to info on reserving a camp site.

I'm interested. May camp and spend the night or come back on the electric line. Not sure yet.
