Hi

In

What is the Hilly Hundred? To describe it to your family and friends, youd need to include all of the key words shown below. Traditional. The Hilly is traditionally the last big bike event of the year. We train for it all summer long. We work hard to prepare for a challenge that we can savor it when its over. It is a cycling tradition like none other. We have too many traditions to be listed here completely. Legendary. It is a legendary event that we have had for 46 years. It is known far and wide. It is even known in noncycling circles. It is copied and emulated throughout the land. Personal. Each person who does the Hilly Hundred describes it in a little bit different way. The Hilly impacts each participant a little bit differently. The changes made each year to improve the experience are literally taken personally by our riders. This is YOUR bike event. Fresh and new. In spite of traditional, legendary and personal, it is also fresh and new each year. We have new riders. We have new routes. We make changes each and every year to keep it fresh and new. Note the Photography Contest display this year. Note the computers used for on-site registration this year. Note the terrific new rest stops for the new Saturday route. They will be spacious and welcoming for all. Note the Parking Lot Games in the vicinity of the Vendor Tent this year. The Hilly staff works hard to make all of this happen. The result is that the 2013 Hilly Hundred Weekend will be the best ever. We hope that you will bring your cycling friends and join us. October 18, 19 and 20. Consult www.hillyhundred.org for more. See you soon.

Presidents Column
n a recent Saturday, I missed the weekend ride because I was going to watch my niece play in a volleyball tournament. I decided to ride to the tournament, since it was only 15 miles from home, the day was beautiful, and I needed to get some miles in. I headed out and felt the freedom that always comes when I ride my bike. The tailwind was pushing me hard enough that I realized the ride home would be challenging, but I was enjoying the ride. Riding along leaves were drifting from the trees and the air was crisp. Suddenly fall is in the air and I am concerned that I should have ridden more miles during the summer months. Except for the thrill of the ride itself, nothing eventful happened. My nieces team won the tournament and I rode home. The wind had not slowed down and the ride was as challenging as I expected, but still enjoyable. A few weeks before I had ridden a lunchtime ride on a Sunday afternoon, planned a few days before by Warren Smock. About 20 of us rode to lunch and back to our cars. Our group was rained on before we got to the restaurant, enough so that I rang the water out of my gloves and socks. But the 52 miles were delightful. I spent time with almost everyone on the ride. Some I already knew, some I met for the first time on the ride. Conversation and laughter were plentiful, even through the rain. For those of you who know me, you know that I love a good social ride. The miles glide away unnoticed, while the love of cycling is shared. And one weekend this month there will be social and fun galore. The Hilly Hundred Weekend is a favorite among both new and seasoned riders. Given the opportunities for fun and frivolity with new and old friends, the challenges of the hills are exhilarating. Cheering and encouraging one another up the most difficult of hills and sharing fried chicken at lunch create memories that will last a lifetime. After Saturdays ride, a stroll through the vendor tent usually finds me with some new treasure, procured at a bargain, celebrating the wonder of the weekend. I have ridden my share of organized rides over the years. Few have disappointed. But none of them offer the excitement of the Hilly. I love the bands, the apple cider, the fried chicken, and even the hills. (After all, it is the HILLY Hundred.) But mostly I love the people and the camaraderie I feel with the other cyclists. It begins the moment I arrive in Ellettsville and lasts until I am in my car headed home after the long weekend. This weekend doesnt just happen. Hundreds of volunteers work to make sure those of us who participate in the weekends ride have an awesome experience. I look forward to seeing many of you at this years Hilly Hundred Weekend. If you havent registered, there is still time at hillyhundred.org. If you have been riding the weekend rides and joining friends on weeknight repeating rides, you dont want to miss this years Hilly. And while you are there, enjoying one of your best rides of the season, dont forget to thank a volunteer or two. Enjoy your ride! Carole

Mark Your Calendars

2013
By Catherine Dusing he 2013 Pedal and Park season for CIBA ended with a very successful Penrod Art Fair. What a great day we had with many new bicycle riders using the Canal Tow Path to attend the fair. The total bicycles parked for 2013 were Broad Ripple Art Fair - 372, Indiana State Fair - 2,422 and Penrod - 303, totaling 3,097 bicycles. This is 496 more than last year. CIBA volunteers had a total of 1,184 hours for which we thank everyone. Without all of you this would not have happened. Great weather had a lot to do with the totals this year, but it is also showing people are riding their bicycles instead of driving their cars. This is one of the goals of Pedal and Park: to get people on their bicycles. Thanks to Tom McCain for all his hard work to get all the Pedal and Parks corrals for all the events he has scheduled and making them happen.

Candidates for 2014 CIBA Officers & Board Members

The Nominating Committee (Mark Bettinger, Dan Koch, Ian Seecof) has compiled a list of Officer and Director candidates along with their biographies for 2014. CIBA officers serve a 1-year term. Officers up for election are: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Vice President should be interested in becoming President when/if the President decides to step down. There are 3 Director positions up for election to the Board. Once elected, CIBA Board members serve a 3-year term. The ballot will be in the October issue of CIBANEWS. The elections will be held at the Annual CIBA Dinner on Saturday, November 9, 2013.

Carole Terry Candidate for President

I have been a member of CIBA since 1998. I have held several positions serving CIBA including, Board member, Ride Committee Chair, PR Chair, and Vice President. I am the Advocacy Chair of the Lilly Cycling Club and a board member of Bicycle Indiana. I am interested in being the President of CIBA in order to continue enhancing the image of the club. In addition to growing the membership, I would like to help CIBA take a lead in advocacy for all types of cycling in Central Indiana while continuing to provide a wide variety of rides for our membership. I have exhibited initiative and enthusiasm for improving club operations and look forward to the opportunity to continue to apply my creativity to future club endeavors.

John Cook Candidate for Vice President

I have been on the Board since 2009 and am on my second term. I have been a huge supporter of CIBA and have promoted this club in every way I can. I have helped design the new CIBA jersey and worked with the Membership and Award committees, have been a ride leader for the breakfast ride out of Cool Creek for years now and have led a CIBA weekend ride. Also I have had ride leader training. I have written several articles and op-ed pieces for the newsletter. I feel that I can provide a valuable service as Vice President and will continue to promote CIBA in everything I do. I will push for a better web site, getting away from Active, and for better promotion of the club.

Holly J. Garrett - Candidate for Secretary

I have over 25 years of various administrative experiences, including advanced use of Microsoft Office applications and record keeping. I have excellent organizational skills and during a recent CIBA meeting, I learned of the potential opportunity for me to give back to the CIBA community in a way that utilizes these skills. It would be an honor and pleasure to serve CIBA in this way.

Rosemary Thomas - Candidate for Treasurer

I have served as Treasurer for CIBA since 1972. I would like to continue in this capacity for 2012.

Candidates for 2014 CIBA Officers & Board Members

Pamela Hollick Candidate for Board Member
I have been looking for the opportunity to be more involved my community for some time, and searching for a position that fits my knowledge and experience base, and my passion. I understand that Joe will not be seeking another term as the risk management director and I am excited about the prospect of serving CIBA in this role. As I understand it, the position does include interfacing with CIBAs attorneys and an understanding of insurance and risk management. While in my current position in telecom, I negotiate agreements dealing with insurance issues and secure certificates of insurance, so I do have a familiarity with insurance and legal issues. I read and analyze contracts for a living so I understand the legal mumbo-jumbo that goes with contracts and insurance. I often have to explain very technical issues in terms that normal folks can understand. In my regulatory position, I often interpret requirements, give directions and advice and often find myself in the position of explaining the risks and consequences of certain actions. I work closely with a team of business leaders, industry leaders and legislators in my career, and Im certain I can bring those same skills to this position to serve CIBA.

Sean Hollick Candidate for Board Member

I enjoy all types of cycling. I have a road bike, tandem bike, also recumbent and trike. Am very active group rider. I would like to give back to my community and become more involved in something that I love doing. I have a great deal of free time to focus on areas that interest me.

Chris Nurnberger Candidate for Board Member

My name is Chris Nurnberger, I am 32 years old. I was born in Washington DC, raised in Indianapolis, just west of broad ripple, near Kessler and Grandview. I left Indianapolis to attend West Virginia University from 1999-2005, where I graduated with a BA in Sociology, minors in Political Science and Geographic Information Science. After graduation I moved back to Indianapolis and found a place in Broad Ripple, where I still live now. I enjoy being a contributor to organizations that have one collective goal. CIBA does many things well, but all of their activities have a common intent: promote safe cycling for everyone. I like that, its simple in purpose; but extremely broad in scope. For years I have enjoyed participating in the N.I.T.E. ride and the Hilly Hundred as a rider and a volunteer. I am always so impressed with the apparent ease with which these massive events are organized and executed. I appreciate your consideration for a position on the board and I look forward to working with you to get more people out on their bicycles.

Jason Ochoada Candidate for Board Member

For as long as I can remember a cycling has been an important part in my life. I have had a number of hobbies in my life but none of them has stayed with me as long as cycling has. Cycling was my freedom when I was a kid, my path to better health in high school and college, and continues to be one of my main life interests. Ive ridden for health, charity, and competition. Ive ridden locally and in other countries. I have been in Indianapolis for 10 years and the CIBA rides were an important part of my socialization when I arrived. I rode the training and weekend rides, and got a membership for a few years but never got deeper than that. Id say that back then I didnt really know much about CIBA other than it held rides all over the city. The diversity of this sport and CIBA is something that continues to amaze me and something I didnt fully appreciate until I went to the CIBA annual meeting last year. There were so many facets of cycling that were discussed and presented that I had never thought of or even knew about! When I left that meeting I knew I wanted to get more involved. I have really enjoyed volunteering with the other members at events. Id like to be even more involved this coming year by participating on the board. I have a particular interest in working on some of the PR activities and have really enjoyed working with Joe Hettle. Im also interested in cycling opportunities for children such as safe commuting to school. When Im not riding I work for Eli Lilly in chemistry and cheminformatics. I am hoping I can leverage some of my expertise in data and data analysis to help CIBA.

T3 Cycling & Triathlon: A Road Bike Specialty ShopNot Just a Tri-Shop

here has been a rumor meandering its way through the Indy road cycling community that T3 is just a tri shop. The last straw for me was a caller who asked, Do you sell road bikes? We obviously needed to get the message across that we are a road bike shop too! So I would like to take this opportunity which CIBA has graciously extended me - to set the record straight: T3 is a legit road cycling shop. Not only is T3 is owned and operated by a group of obsessed cyclists who are incredibly passionate about the sport, they have decades of road cycling and racing experience. Ive been a roadie for about 40 years now and love cycling as much as I ever did. Family and friends would argue that I am more obsessed with it now than ever. Admit it, you know the level of obsession I am referring to when it comes to cycling. To help get the message across that we are a specialty road bike shop I decided to modify our name. We needed to define more precisely who we are. We dropped the MultiSport, which has been synonymous with the sport of triathlon. Dont get me wrong, we love our triathletes and will continue to serve them with as much passion as we always have, but want to spread some of that love and passion to the road cycling community as well. Our new name, T3 Cycling & Triathlon dismisses any question about what kind of a shop we are. Plus, we were getting way too many calls and people stopping in asking if we sold baseball bats and soccer balls! With our new name came a new logo, color scheme, new signs, tents, van wrap, business card, new cycling kits, etc.! Our goals with re-branding are two-fold: To create a brand that accentuates more emphasis on road cycling, and to create branding (logos, signage van-wrap, etc.) that appeals more to all you roadies out there! Of course we think our new look is very cool, and we hope you think so too. I am very bullish about our products and services. No bias hereright! The nice thing about being a smaller cycling specialty shop is that we can hand-pick what brands we bring in. We have several incredible road bike brands including BMC, Cervelo, Felt, Look, and Guru. Of course great bikes deserve amazing wheels. We sell two of the worlds leading brands: Zipp and Reynolds. There is no question in my mind these are the two fastest wheels on the planet! Other premier clothing and accessory brands include Sidi, Shimano, Northwave, Pearl Izumi, and Sugoi among others. We have all the road cycling gear you need for a great cycling experience! Being smaller we can also provide very individualized service to our customers. Our employees are very passionate and knowledgeable and enjoy sharing this with our customers. I am confident you will feel very welcome and at ease in our store as we have a very non-intimidating atmosphere. No question is a dumb question, so ask at will! We are the perfect place for beginners to buy their first bike, get apparel, and learn what it takes to get started in cycling. For the advanced cyclist we have the level of products, expertise, and bike tech service that can serve your needs as well. Bike Fitting is one of our premier services. We offer Retul 3-D and video analysis. Ive been a professional road and TT/Tri bike fitting for almost 20 years now. It is incredibly gratifying helping other riders become faster, more efficient, and more comfortable on their bikes. T3s also houses an indoor Compu-trainer Cycling Center. With a variety of classes and open visit passes available, there is no excuse not to stay in shape all year round. We are pleased to announce that USA Cycling Coach Kelsey Devereaux will be heading up the indoor cycling program this upcoming season. Classes begin Oct 28, so dont miss out. Registration info is available on our website, or just call the shop. Finally, I saved the best for last: Can I brag on our service department and bike mechanics a little? Eric Roberson and Tim Mally are simply over-the-top amazing mechanics and totally obsessed about cycling. We lovem and you will tooespecially when they make your bike rock like new (no rhyme intended!). So stop by and check us out. It would be great to meet you and help you with your cycling needs. We look forward to being more involved with CIBA and the Indy cycling community. Author Vern LaMere is principle owner of T3 Cycling & Triathlon. He is the face of T3.

Feature Article

Photo-Cycling 101
By Ian Seecof yclists know how much more enjoyable traveling by bicycle is compared with riding in a motor vehicle. Life goes into slow motion frames at 15-20 mph. We see more and have more live actiontime to soak it all in. If your cycling experience is limited to hammering with your eyes on the wheel in front of you, you might as well skip this article. I like a fast ride sometimes. Other times I prefer to ride at a relaxed pace. Sometimes I like to ride with a group and sometimes I like to ride alone. Cycling offers something for everyone no matter what their frame of mind. One of my very favorite cycling companions is a camera. My wife and other cyclists can jog my memory regarding previous rides and tours, but no one can totally refresh my recollection like looking at pictures that were taken at those events. Over the past 62 years I have cycled in many states and countries. Some locations will never fade away and others are but a distant memory. Some sights or sounds trigger thoughts of rides of yesteryear. But a picture can truly be worth a thousand words. Any time you ride up alongside me, you can bet that I have a camera in my right rear jersey pocket. Actually, I have a backpack that holds multiple cameras, lenses, filters, batteries, memory cards, etc. for photo excursions. Last year I packed it full of photo toys and headed to Central America for 30 days of photo-cycling. As I cycled through Yucatan, Belize, Guatemala and Quintana Roo, I stopped to photograph every Mayan temple from base to summit, every archaeological site, Parque Nacionals, Baboons, jaguars, birds, crocks, cenotes, jungle rivers, multi-colored lakes, coral reefs and even

an underwater museum. It was a photographers dream selection of subjects. I have been privileged to share similar photo opportunities throughout Japan, Mexico, both islands of New Zealand, Canada, London, Scotland, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. Photography began for me in 1964 when I first steered my 20 wheeled bike with longhorn bars and a banana seat into the parking lot at the photo-lab in Asaka Machi to develop and print my first 35mm films. My 35mm camera was a Nikonos-I and it had a separate Seconic light meter. Although it was cutting-edge technology in its day, it is archaic compared to the four underwater cameras I have now. So, I am about to lose you with all this tech-talk? You can shoot fabulous photos with a point & shoot that costs less than $100 and fits in a pocket or top tube bag. You do not need to change hemispheres to find great colors and subjects. Some of the most interesting autumn images are right here in Indiana. When photographing in your community you may need to shoot tight or use a telephoto lens to eliminate distractions such as streets, power lines and buildings. There are many advantages of shooting from your bike. Bikes save gas money as well as time to get to a location. You are on location from the start. Fall is a perfect time to begin photo-cycling. Although every fall day does not provide optimal riding conditions, there are many photo opportunities over wet leaves or foggy meadows that fickle fall weather delivers. Photography is about the light (duh !). Fall colors change dramatically with the angle and strength of the light. Full sun can bring out colors, especially when trees are backlit. A bicycle is quick and easy transportation to achieve the best location to get a great shot. Fall colors look great against a brilliant blue sky with puffy white clouds, but overcast conditions and wet leaves heighten color

saturation. Rain does not appeal to most cyclists, but photo-cyclists will look for the silver lining, rainbows, or fog settling in for a few moments. A scene that may only be ho-hum on a sunny day can present a combination of color and drama during or after a fresh snow. Fall color can be either the subject or the backdrop, but every photo needs a center of interest. Natural features such as waterfalls, cliff faces, ponds, streams or even iconic man-made structures can add drama to your landscape. Look for wildlife subjects. They do not need to have antlers, horns, or gnashing fangs. Even small mammals and birds among tufted grass or reeds can give life to a photo. Moving water can be exciting when made silky by a long exposure time. The photographic world is in motion and cycling is in sync with life. Billowing clouds, falling leaves, a babbling brook, sunrises, and sunsets can be captured at the same location over several days or weeks to document the event in a time-lapse slide show. If you have a video camera, adding short clips can take your viewers directly into the scene. If it moves, it lends itself to video. Great photography tells a story. The narrative may be revealed serendipitously over time or you might compose and direct the story yourself. You may enjoy looping a series of stills and video clips as your desktop screensaver. For a very modest budget you can construct, on-line, a hard cover book with colors and subject from cover to cover. A circular polarizer filter, a fish-eye lens, and a telephoto zoom lens are reasonably priced tools to add to your arsenal if you become as fascinated with photography as you are with bicycles. However, an inexpensive point and shoot is enough to get you started in good fashion. Carry it with you on every ride for a month and see what developspun intended!

2013 MTR
By Ian Seecof here are 9 states in the Midwest Tandem Region. This year the MTR was hosted in Fairborn by the Greater Ohio Area Tandem Society (GOATS) with support from the Dayton Cycling Club. This was the 4th year that Ohio has hosted MTR. Greene County is a prime cycling destination. It is known for rolling and hilly country roads with very good surface conditions as well as for the awesome Miami Valley area multi-use trails. When completed, the Ohio-to-Erie bike trail will reach 400 miles from the Ohio River at Cincinnati to Lake Erie at Cleveland. This year 33 states, Canada, and Brazil were represented by 346 tandem teams. There were 49 Indiana teams, 3rd only behind Ohio and Michigan. MTRs have been hosted in Indiana in 1976, 1995, 2004, 2010, and will return to Indiana in 2014. We started the holiday weekend on Friday evening with two ice cream rides. The routes were short so, we rode both to total 17 miles. The first ice cream shop was in a strip mall and was unremarkable. However, the second shop was a Graeters shop and it has kill-or-die-for ice cream. We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant close to the host hotel. Saturdays routes began with a mass start at the Nutter Center on the Wright State University campus and offered distances of 29.5, 36, 52, 62, and 100 miles. Lunch was at Youngs Jersey Dairy with opportunities to visit the village of Yellow Springs, Clifton Mill, and Brandeberry Winery. We were not impressed with this Ohio winery or the state laws that regulate their industry. We had dinner at a Thai restaurant close to the hotel. Then we attended a couple of seminars. Sundays routes were also a mass start from the Nutter Center and offered 35, 50, and 62 mile choices. These routes offered a good mix of tree canopy and open roads. One of the local tandem teams commented that very few of the big hills were not on the routes of both days. Sunday lunch was at the Greene County Fairgrounds. SAG stop was in Bellbrook. Sunday evening there was a banquet at the Nutter Center, but many of us chose to drive to Yellow Springs for pizza at Ha Has. We could not order beer in the restaurant, but we bought a six-pack at the corner gas station and carried it into Ha Has. Yellow Springs is an interesting artists community and there were plenty of Tats and piercings to amuse us. Monday mornings Breakfast Ride went to Youngs Jersey Dairy. Although scheduled as a 24 mile ride, we added some miles on the trails to total 37 miles. We had beautiful weather all weekend, lots of laughs, good food, plenty of ice cream and many miles of great riding. It was great to see old friends from previous rides and MTRs, and also to make new friends. Each

evening, under the stars, many Indiana tandem couples gathered on the pool deck and swapped tales and joked together over adult refreshments. On the drive home Monday afternoon we discovered an Amish milk and cheese shop on I-70. We selected the components of a huge sandwich on cheese bread from three large refrigerators filled with dozens of different cheeses, breads, and cakes. On the way home we figured out a bike route starting in Greenfield to this shop for lunch and return to Greenfield. Look for this GT Ride on the CIBA ride schedule. How do you top that kind of weekend?

Grand Touring Rides

By Randy Schmucker (CIBA Grand Touring Ride Coordinator) ope you have gotten your wind back after riding the many tours and a few hills in September. There may be a few people still trying to recover from climbing the Bushy Road hill in Metamora! Fall is now upon us and the Grand Touring season is winding down. In October we will return to Columbus to check out your hill legs and see the fall colors at the Fall Color Tour in the hills of western Bartholomew and Eastern Brown County. After the ride gorge yourself on some of the best ice cream around at Dags. In November take a more leisurely tour on the Indy Greenways with stops at theWhite River Gardens (cookies! apples! cider! hot chocolate! coffee!) and at Detour Grille on the Monon Trail. Saturday, October 12 - Columbus Fall Color Tour Saturday, November 2 - Tour DGreenways For more information on Grand Touring Riding, go to www.rsdesign.info/gtrides.html. You can also get to this page by clicking on Grand Touring on the front page of the CIBA website. This web page tracks the latest information on Grand Touring Rides. The web page also contains information, such as Grand Touring ride leader guidelines and route maps, for both potential Grand Touring ride leaders as well as Grand Touring riders. The emphasis for Grand Touring rides is to have fun and to socialize. So, try out a Grand Touring ride this year. See you on the road!

HOOTs Teams Ride to MTR in Fairborn, Ohio

By John Calhoun

even teams of intrepid cyclists from central and northern Indiana participated in a two-day ride to Fairborn, OH for the annual Midwest Tandem Rally.

We then headed south on the Great Miami River Trail to the rendezvous point at JackAss Flats. This was a nice, cool place to meet, although the service was quite slow. After lunch we followed a route provided by the MTR committee to the Wright Memorial and then to the MTR host hotel. Fairborn was our eighth MTR, and it was probably the best organized rally weve been to. Roads were smooth and scenic and the rest stops provided plenty of shelter space and were often indoors. Pam Kulhanek and her committee hosted an outstanding event.

HOOTs members at JackAss Flats Biker Bar on the north side of Dayton photo by Cris Bahret The riding started on Wednesday from the Fort Wayne area with Kevin & Peggy, their daughter-n-law Lindsay, and grandson Levi (age 4) heading south to Muncie on the Cardinal Greenway. On Thursday morning, Don & Chris started from Muncie and three teams started from the Indianapolis area. These three teams (Pat & Margaret, Bill & Cris, and John & Madelyn met at Losantville, IN, and by complete chance, also met up with the Fort Wayne crew heading south to Richmond, IN. on the Cardinal Greenway. The Fort Wayne group preferred to stay mostly on trails to accommodate four-year-old Levi. As four teams arrived in Greenville, OH, the final team, Mark & Karen started their ride from the east side of Indianapolis late in the afternoon. Duties at work delayed their start, and they rode 50 miles to a Bed and Breakfast in Centerville, IN. On Friday morning the Greenville crew headed east to Troy where the Gentlemen of the Road Music Festival was getting started. Bill led us through the barriers into streets that were now pedestrian walkways; an interesting way to see the city.

Levi and mom on the road to Richmond, IN photo by Peggy Cordes Plans are already underway for an overnight ride from the Indianapolis area to Fort Wayne for MTR 2014. The committee for MTR2014 is chaired by Anne and Kent Ellis, and this will be the committees third MTR in ten years. Details for the event may be found at www.mtr2014.org.

Ride Reports
email Ride Reports to editor@cibaride.org
Ride Name: ZFL Ride Starting Place: Mulberry Fields Park, Zionsville Ride Leaders: Gene & Kim Valanzano Co-Sponsor : Town of Zionsville Park Board Ride Mentor: Mike McCarthy Ride Date: Saturday, August 3, 2013
Approximately 60 riders trusted the radar and were rewarded with cool, overcast but drying conditions throughout the morning. Reports of recent showers in northwest Pike Township did, however, kept riders from the traditional fresh leg riding of the Fishback Loop as their first loop. Most riders chose the Lebanon Loop first and were rewarded with virtually no wind and several miles of new pavement, both were welcome firsts for the Lebanon Loop. Due to the central Start / SAG / Finish location at Mulberry Fields Park, those who did not want to risk riding in the rain were able to sleep-in, come out late and still ride. The last new sign-in was a very well rested person who arrived at about 11:30 a.m. as the sky turned blue and sunny. A special thank you is extended to the Town of Zionsville Park Board for co-sponsoring the ZFL Ride and providing a location with parking, shelter space, restrooms, running water, and last but not least - a splash park, which although not used by riders this year, may become a ride highlight in the future when we have a typical hot, humid summer day for the ride. Elementary. One rider went down while riding in a pace line and Don Craft who was one of our SAG drivers transported the injured rider to the hospital. Thankfully the rider suffered no serious injuries (much to the credit of the riders helmet which cracked in 5 places). Don Kirk was the other roving SAG, and he transported Don Hughs back to Fishers when he broke down (his tires, not him). Fire Chief Karl Colbert of the White River Volunteer Fire Department again provided wonderful restroom facilities at the fire station on the L and XL routes. Karl goes out of his way every year to help make this ride special, and we all owe him a big thanks.

Ride Name: Tour de Loops Labor Day Ride Starting Place: Williams Park Brownsburg Ride Leader: John McShea Co-Ride Leader: Regina McShea Ride Date: Monday, September 2, 2013
The Tour de Loops is an annual ride with three loops and a central SAG from Williams Park in Brownsburg. It was a cool and misty morning with 78 riders signed in and riding at 9 a.m. The rides three loops, North 26, West 24, and a short South of 14 miles have benefited from significant repaving efforts from Hendricks County although the South route was shortened this year to avoid gravel. The home made chocolate chip cookies, watermelon, grapes and nuts received praise. The unique green triple loop Dan Henries were found to be easy to follow. The Sag advertised open till noon but we stayed until the last long riders came in at well past 1 p.m. What a great club we have.

Ride Name: Wander To Walnut Grove Starting Place: Harrison Parkway Elementary School Ride Leaders: Chris & Don Kirk Co-Leaders : Dolly & Don Craft Ride Mentor: Mike McCarthy Ride Date: Sunday, August 18, 2013

Ride Name: Corydon Triple GTs + Starting Place: Corydon Ride Leader: Warren Smock Co-Ride Leader: Joe Hettle Ride Date: Fri-Mon, Aug 30-Sep. 2, 2013
Wow! is all that can be said for the weekend. Four days, 8000+ feet of climbing and almost perfect weather made for some incredible cycling for the 18 participants. The other 1000 CIBA members just missed out.

This annual event that starts in Fishers and goes northeast to the Tipton County line turned out to be a perfect day with temperatures in the mid 70s and low winds. This year the corn was exceptionally tall and thick which caused the riders to be more cautious on the ride. 34 of the 73 riders opted for the XL route which was a metric century. Dolly Craft manned the SAG stop at the fire station in Walnut Grove while Chris Kirk and her new dog Holly manned the SAG stop at Durbin

Ride Reports (continued)

Again this year the Corydon Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau prepared welcome packages with discount coupons at many of the local restaurants and other merchants. (We especially liked the Culvers Ice Cream coupon.) In addition, they had a wonderful sign outside the Holiday Inn Express to welcome us. Fridays late afternoon ride was a short 18-mile loop and 1300 feet of climbing with a stop at the historic town square for an Army band concert. We enjoyed dinner from a local church selling eats for a fundraiser. Both the homemade pie and cobbler were outstanding. Several of us ate more than one slice, making the 4 mile uphill ride home even more fun than usual. Saturdays 51-mile route with 2700 feet of climbing was slightly modified from last year since the store at Becks Mill is closed. We did however go by the home site of the first Salvation Army Commissioner born in the USA, Samuel Logan Brengle. After lunch we stopped to see one of the historic signs that mark the invasion of Morgans Raiders into Indiana during the Civil War (if you are from the south it is referred to as the War of Northern Aggression). Our final 15 miles followed the old Buffalo Trace back to Corydon. Sundays 51-mile route with 2300 feet of climbing is always a highlight as we visit the Turtle Run winery ( http://www.turtlerunwinery.com/ ) for tasting and lunch. Jim, a former professional bicycle racer and owner of the winery, welcomed us as always. He hosted a group wine tasting, entertained us with stories of the winery as well as his bicycle adventures, and joined us for the ride on Monday. We stopped at the only Civil War battle site in Indiana on the final leg home. Mondays 35-mile route with 2400 feet of climbing was just a ride to stretch our legs and get back before the late check-out time to shower, load up and meet everyone at Culvers for a final ice cream treat and departing good-byes. This years route used several new roads and was by far the most scenic of the weekend. If you have not made these rides in the past, dont miss next year if they are available or ask Warren Smock or Joe Hettle for the maps. I dont think you can find better cycling in the world. A big thank you for Joe Hettle for doing some SAG work for us, even if that is not the norm for GT rides.

Ride Name: Metamora Ramble GT Ride - The Sequel Start Location: Metamora Ride Leaders: Randy & Connie Schmucker Ride Date: Saturday, September 7, 2013
Twelve riders made the trip to Metamora for first late summer version of the Metamora Ramble. At the start the skies were clear and the parking lot felt a little bit cool. Everyone warmed up quickly on the Duck Creek hill. Next up was the Yellow Bank slalom and then came the Bushy Road hill. Everyone made it up one way or another and survived the challenge. After the downhill into Brookville the riders rested and reloaded the water bottles at the Brookville Park. All was quiet in the park this year. The riders left Brookville following Blue Creek on the journey to St. Peters. The shade was welcome. The St Marys hill was as challenging as ever and by the end of the day temperatures had risen to the middle 80s. But shade and scenic views were still plentiful. The 51-mile group after wandering through the wooded and pastoral country side and many hills ended up in Oldenburg where the riders descended upon the local grocery stores deli for sandwiches. Out of Oldenburg the group followed the twists and turns of Harvey Branch Creek before making the last long gradual climb on Whistle Creek and then the screaming plunge back to Metamora. Whew! That was a blast. Once back in Metamora, the riders found Mr. Fudges Confectionary and consumed lots of ice cream. It was a great way to end a pleasant but challenging day of riding.

Cranksgiving Bike Ride

By Nathan Smurdon ts a bike ride. Its a food drive. Its an urban scavenger hunt. Its the 2nd Annual Cranksgiving Indy ride! Last year over 100 riders participated in this inaugural event the weekend before Thanksgiving. Riders register in advance and are told only the start/finish location for the event and a ballpark estimate of how far they might ride that day (10-15 miles). They also know that they will be making their way to 4 different locations around downtown Indianapolis to gather food items they will carry back to the finish. At the event check in, ride organizers provide riders with the locations, but then it is up to each rider to determine their own route to each location. IndyCog will be on hand to assist with route planning for those not as familiar with downtown using their RideGuide map that has streets and trails color coded to indicate which are best for riding. The ride is produced by ActiveIndy Tours (www.activeindytours.com) and food gathered will benefit the mission of Second Helpings (www.secondhelpings.org). This years event will take place the morning of Saturday, November 23rd at the historic Indianapolis City Market. The ride

costs $20 to participate - and all fees are used to pre-purchase the food that riders will be gathering. Registration and more event info can be found at CranksgivingIndy.com

We ride all year long, in all kinds of weather. Dont let overcast skies or a little wind discourage you from riding. Please sign in at each ride on CIBAs Release and Agreement to Indemnify/Ride Log sheets. It helps us to know who is riding , the lengths they choose and provides a contact number if there is an emergency. Please help and talk to new riders. Let them know we are a cycling club that is interested in riders of all ages and abilities. When on the road, please talk to other riders, ride predictably, and call out potential hazards. Respect the property of others, especially at the starting and SAG points. If we abuse their property, we may not be invited back. Its a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. This gives you time to ensure that you and your bike are ready, meet new cycling friends, and hear the Ride Leaders pre-ride remarks. Please feel free to contact the Ride Leader if you have any questions about an upcoming ride or comments on a ride you have attended. If you have any problems, comments, suggestions, or compliments, just contact a member of the Ride Committee. If you would like to lead a ride or help with one, please let us know. Ride Safe. Ride Smart. Wear a helmet! Obey traffic signs, signals, and laws. Ride no more than two abreast. When traffic warrants it, ride in single file.
