I plan to ride by myself one day and on our tandem with my stoker the other day. I've only missed a few Hilly's since 1976.
Not sure exactly what the route will be this year but there will be hills......

I haven't been to Hilly in many years now. I supposed this year having an early October date would be a good one. The last time I checked the route, it looked pretty uninteresting - through town or something like that. Since I'll be probably be registering day-of, I'll wait and see if I like the route before committing. If I go, maybe we can ride together on Saturday Jan?

Road construction on the I69 conversion has caused major issues with the Hilly routes. Last year we crossed east of SR37/I69 for the first time in several years. Yes, we were on Bloomington streets more than I could remember in the past. But east of B-ton we did reconnect with roads untraveled by Hilly riders for quite a while and found new roads, particularly on the way to Morgan Monroe state forest. Not sure of this year's route.
Guessing I'll be riding solo Saturday and tandem Sunday. Depending on what my stoker decides about when/where to volunteer. PM me as it gets closer to Hilly time.
