Buy, Sell, Trade / Re: SE fat tire bike...

« on: April 21, 2018, 06:24:39 PM »

MSRP over $1000, I'm asking $550. I got this at a small charity silent auction (about 25 people), and I made the opening bid to get the ball rolling but I didn't expect to win. I won't be able to do this bike justice due to health reasons. Any profit made over what I paid will also go to Indy Public Safety for the police youth biking program (the guys that always loan us bikes and helmets for the HMBA events). I have more photos if anyone wants to see them.

Fort Harrison State Park / Re: Are the trails widening?

« on: March 29, 2016, 01:22:51 PM »

I hike at Ft Ben a lot, and I always listen for bikes and I step out of the way off the trail for them. Some of you have probably seen me, and 95% of the bikers are always polite and say something friendly (you know the other 5%). Hey, I know who builds those trails, and they always get the right of way from me...

Fort Harrison State Park / Re: Fort Harrison Trail Conditions - 2015

« on: November 06, 2015, 04:00:31 PM »

I hiked part of Camp Glenn around 2:00 today, and it was pretty green. Trail was damp but firm, and I didn't see any slick spots. But I'm sure there may be some puddles in the usual spots.

One could always dive off of 65 S at the Franklin exit and drive SR44 and end up on 135 if they had to. Not a bad drive, either. Here's a map.

When I head down from the east side of Indy, I've been going down I-65 and then cutting west at the Whiteland Road exit. That takes you to 135 just south of all the suburban clutter. I like that way better than the SR 44 route through Franklin. (It also takes you near Taxman Brewing in Bargersville!).

Fort Harrison State Park / Jockamo's pizza...

« on: June 03, 2015, 11:53:36 AM »

Just a heads up, the Ft. Ben Jockamo's is now open! Enter from Otis Avenue, it's a block or two east of the 56th Street CVS. They have a decent beer assortment including Indiana crafts (and they do have Railsplitter)...
