Around the Lake and Then Some

By Allan Edmonds

Over thirty riders did one or another route around the Lake on Saturday, April 11. Bob DeGroff got the group organized and distributed club maps to those who needed them. Meanwhile Klaus Rothe was observed taking photos that he hopes to use on our soon-to-be-released revamped web site.


About half the group planned to do the standard Hoosier Hills 60K route, south on 446 to Chapel Hill, south of Lake Monroe, then climbing the "Alps" up to the dam, Strain Ridge, Ramp Creek, and home. The other half split off at Chapel Hill, intending to do the 100K route, with possible additions for those aiming to get in a full 100 miles before they finished.



The weather was cool but pleasant and overall everyone following the 60K route (essentially 40 miles) had a good time, splitting up into two or three smaller groups.
