CANCELLED. Tour de Mad Dog Stage 1 - Haunted Hollow: 94-miles

Route Distance: 94-miles 

Starting Location: Meetup and parking at 166 Missouri Ave Jeffersonville, IN 47130

Route Description: Haunted Hollow is a very picturesque stretch of road between Mauckport and New Amsterdam. If the weather is not too severe and we actually get this ride in, I will sweep the ride at ~14 mph. If you elect to tackle this significant, early-season century please make sure you have (tested and used) clothing and equipment suitable for an all-day ride in January. Understand that being in cold conditions for seven or nine hours is very different than being out for two or three hours.

Winter roads in Indiana can sometimes be covered in cinders which have been known to cause flat tires and can accumulate in patches which can reduce traction. Good advise is to put your bike's tires in the track where the passenger side tires of cars and trucks normally would be. Avoid the center of the lane and the shoulder when cinders are present.

All of that said - let's hope for a nice 55 degree sunny day in mid-January and ride some bikes.
