Biking Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller, Holly Eller

After training all summer we successfully completed the 50-mile event along with over 1,200 cyclists. We pulled the travel trailer and camped at the beautiful Mt. Comfort KOA Campground. The bike tour day was cooler weather, and we enjoyed the countryside as the route took us along countless farms growing corn and soybeans. We occasionally saw cows, horses and llamas and very little car traffic. Our registration fee covered a free meal and drink as there was a small street festival, food booths and a band after the race. Returning to the KOA after the race I accelerated onto I-70 west and my truck conked out with a throttle issue. An Indiana State Highway Patrol Trooper took Rosie and Holly nine miles back to the campsite. Two hours later the AAA trick showed up and I had him drop me and the bicycles off at the campsite and he drove my truck 102 miles to the Centerville repair shop. We enjoyed a nice dinner around the campfire. The KOA had goats and horses that Holly fed. God blessed us as Sunday morning we found an Indianapolis Enterprise Rent-A-Car Shop open for a few hours. I took an Uber to Enterprise and rented a pickup truck to pull the travel trailer back safely to Moraine. Quite a challenging weekend but a fun, great bicycle ride.
