French Lick

MAY 2009

     Indiana has a program called "The Bike Route" in scenic southern Indiana. I had a friend pick up some literature, and said we could stay at the French Lick Resort. The nightly rate is $159 for King, $169 for 2 queen, 4 can share a room for the $169/night. The resort has a CASINO (for those who want to indulge), it also has a full service SPA for those who want a post ride massage.
     My friend told me the food was fantastic and the countryside was beautiful. Looking forward to a great ride and and fantastic weekend. I will post more on the blog and also send more detailed emails as we get closer. Your job now is to reserve your spa treatments (a 2-week minimum advance is recommended)

     There will be 4 ride options:
     1. Full Ride - 62 miles CUE SHEET
     2. Hotel to Lake and return to Lake with Lites approx 50 miles
     3. Lite Ride 34 miles CUE SHEET
     4. Ultra Lite. Meet for lunch in Jasper and Ride back to the Lake 17 miles.

This area is much like Tennessee and has challenging climbs on all rides. Remember, it's a tour. We have plenty of time to walk up those hills if necessary!! I will be living for a massage to soothe those sore muscles!!
