EURO RALLY 2015, THE TRIDITION CONTINUES

groupOnce again this year the Indy Club was the largest club in attendance at the Euro Rally.

We had 36 members that showed up at the rally, as the list grew quickly, no one else was even trying.

When Poly announced that she presenting the largest club award she said “guess who”.

This is the 5th or 6th year we have won.

We had a group of 9 that met at the Cracker Barrel and split into 2 groups for the ride down, on Thursday.

We all gathered at Frisch’s Restaurants for lunch, and then started the second leg of the trip.

Some of us got gas at that time, the adventures riders just stood by showing off.

A good time was had by all, as in Burkesville it rained, but  we had no rain inbound or out

NEW CATAGORY ADDED FOR RIDING, CAMPING, TOURING, AND SAFETY TIPS

THIS   CATEGORY   WAS   CREATED   FOR   MEMBERS,   TO   SHARE   THEIR   EXPERIENCES   AND   RECOMMENDATIONS   ON   SUBJECTS RELATED   TO   RIDING,   TOURING,   CAMPING,   AND   SAFETY

EXAMPLES COULD BE:

Waterproofing tent,

Campsite cooking

Group touring

I will start with.

When riding in a group for a distance or multiple days, I would recommend staying in a set formation – same bike in front and behind you.

This allows each rider to key off the body language of the rider in front of them.

And it allows you to know what you can expect from your touring partner.

European Riders Rally

The European Riders Rally is MAY 15 – 16 – 17 and is held in Burkesville KY.
Give or take, it is about 300 miles depending on which way you get lost.
 
 
The rally doesn’t officially start until Friday, but it is allowed to camp Thursday night.
 
Peg and I are planning on going down Thursday, riding through Versailles, Madison, Shelbyville KY, Campbellsville KY, and on into the Rally.  Lunch will happen somewhere along the way.
 
If you’re interested in riding down with us on Thursday you can meet us at the Cracker Barrel at I-74 and Hwy 9 in Shelbyville.
 
Meet at 9am to have breakfast and leave around 10 am.  As always have a full tank, and be sure to have an empty bladder when you leave.
 
We are going that way to avoid I-65 south construction.
