Some
video my son Justin and I took over the weekend. Not a bad first effort, but we need to find a way to stabilize the camera. Enjoy.

I have added pictures from the HOOTS Fall Finale, and added a ride report in the discussion area.
Due to family obligations, we missed the Hilly Hundred for the first time in 6 years, but I hear SUNDAY was a great day. Any HOOTS reports?

I can't believe it is the end of September, but that is only half the story. Since my last HOOTS post, we have had THREE great rides! Thanks to Don and Chris Kirk, who hosted the ride and barbecue August 2nd, Pat and Margaret Donnelly for the now famous Tour De DQ(^3) August 23rd, and Ian Seecof and Cheryl Sunman another edition of the Farm Fest ride on September 13. These were all great rides with a mix of new and old faces, and thanks to all the 2009 HOOTS leaders for their efforts.
Also, sin…

A big thanks to John Calhoun and Madelyn Zalon for hosting one of our
largest attended rides, with over 20 teams and numerous singles (since we were the only CIBA rides on the Friday holiday). A lot of HOOTS regulars were in attendance, (Richard & Shirley, Don & Chris, Jerry & Donna, George & Teresa, Doug & Denise, Sheldon & Martha, Pat & Margaret, Paul & son Mark, and many more). We ag…

I don’t have access to all the details, but apparently Greg suffered a heart attack near the end of a tandem ride with his wife Linda, on Thursday, June 25th. More information may be available at the
Bloomington Bicycle Club web site.
Greg and Linda attended one of our Carmel start HOOTS rides last year. Linda and Greg have posted pictures on their tandem adventures on the HOOTS web site. Greg also participated in a number of inte…

Great turn out, 9 teams, and two singles. It was a little chilly for spring, but the wind out of the north was not has bad as last years kick off ride. Along with teams from greater Indianapolis, we had rides Muncie, and Chicago. (Yes, CATS members Tom and Ginny Preston, riding a tandem for just a year, drove down from the greater Chicago area!) Another notable event was Randy and Connie showing up early on the right day and correct starting point.
The Cicero DQ and Wilson's were as much fun as…

It seems just yesterday I was pulling the
DALMAC flag off my Single, but that was Labor Day!
3 Great HOOTS rides this fall, and then on to
Hilly Hundred, which had a great 41st running in Elletsville, IN. The boys and I didn't ride the first day, since we working with 6 other volunteers were working on one of Hilly's Saturday night traditions. In just 24 hours we sorted through 3,000 digit…

I want to thank everybody who has signed up in the last several weeks, and say welcome! At one point, I tried to greet everybody, but that is not working out right now. I especially want to thank those with pictures in their profiles, since that helps us all remember names. We are now at 20% participation from our total membership list.
I have also added note, Who Are You? with a request for first and last name while signing up. While not required, we do encourage our members to provide first a…

So I finally returned to
DALMAC, after 29 years. It was an incredible 5 day ride, even though I was on a single. I was on the 5 day UP route, that rode all the way to…

Our CIBA camping ride,
Justin's Sweet Corn Ride was 66% tandem, and we may have "hooked" another team in the process. I also had fun demonstrating 1 burner cooking, just with a very big pot. Justin and I had good time together, as did the rest of the group.
It was amazing to see the difference a summer of serious riding can make in a growing teen-ager. Justin had worked up to 80 miles with me through a steady series of weekend 40 to 50 mi…

Just getting back from a 2 week family vacation, with a busy August ahead. We have another handful of members now signed up, (welcome to all of you), and our

Lots of riding coming up in August. Linda and I lead our ride August 2 in Zionsville, followed by a camping…

Hi All: Thanks to everyone who has signed in, and for the positive comments. The site has turned out well, and has a lot of possibilities. Please feel free to add your profile pictures, since that will help us all keep track of who is who..
One of the things I want to encourage is for the our outlying member clusters (Ft. Wayne, Columbus, and Bloomington, etc.) to feel free to add rides in your regions. While based in Indianapolis, this is an Indiana tandem club. If you create an event, you can…
