Found an Awesome Road

Might work good for a daytime rally.

Man, wandered INa nd got lost with the lady last tnie and let me tell u South IN 49 is an awesome 2 lane road to go flying down.

I can see 20 of us or so rolling down it in daylit eiwht radar detectors on and just flying.

Nice 2 lane freshly paved country backwoods road, couple of small towns along the way and nice broad curves for high speed.

I enjoyed it immensely except for the fact it was dark and the bugs were huge lol.

Anyone interested in ahving a thirdgen rally out that way?

MAybe make it a beach cruise afterwards?

Its about 30 min east of me so figure about 1hr 20 or 30 for the Schaumburg area folk.

Seems like it would work good for us, nice pavement, low traffic and fun road

later
Jeremy

There's a good road off of 49, right by valpo. The road is called ransom rd. and it has some great dips, good for a drop in yer stomach and an airborne car!!

So how many people do we have in?

If I set something up for maybe a early-ish Sunday morning for no traffice and either hit somewhere for lunch or head to the beach afterwards?

Sound like something that would work?

This post doesnt talk about any roads other than 49 South. And if anyone is interested in cruising it and having a lunch or cruise to the beach after get together and nothing else.

Thanks
Jeremy
