September Escapade Touring Ride in Rural Indiana

September Escapade™ will guide you to the scenic and historic sites of south central Indiana, with overnights at three state parks: Turkey Run (two nights), McCormick's Creek (two nights), and Brown County (one night). Routes use rural, hard-surfaced roads, with stops in small towns for services. Terrain ranges from rolling to hilly with some challenging hills. Ridership is limited to 250 participants.

September Escapade™ offers a choice of inn lodging or tent camping at three state parks. Indiana State Park Inns are modern and well-appointed, with high quality linens, comfortable furniture, air conditioning, and free WiFi. Learn more about the Indiana State Park Inns.

Five breakfasts and five dinners served in the inn dining rooms are included; the first meal provided is dinner on Sunday. Menus are carefully planned for sound nutrition and variety, and include vegetarian options.

Expect to ride an average 70 miles on the days we travel to a new state park, and train to complete this distance over hilly terrain. Two layover days offer two or three loop rides of varying distances, or free time to explore the park, with activities such as hiking, horseback riding and photography.
