12-June	80	1000'	After yesterdays storm it was cooler and damp. Fog greeted us in the morning and it was quite cool all day. Other than the humidity, it felt very much like home. Midday, we crossed into yet another new state (Indiana). Along the way we passed through lot of little towns, not unlike Shandon and Creston.	Crawfordsville
13-June	73	700'	This was a crazy day. First we rode to Indianapolis (a big town). Our first stop was the Speedway where we rode, two by two, around the course. While doing it, we watch the skys darken and get more threatening. Then we continued to the Velodrome, but by then the there was lightning and thunder in the distance, and it discouraged me from ride the track. Whe the storm approaching, our group made a wrong turn and got lost. We called for help and waited under a tree. The rain didn't get to where we waited, but the poor folks that stayed on the course got really dumped on (including hail). Virtue has its rewards! Vorena arrived.	Indianapolis
14-June	68	1200	My riding partner wasn't feeling too well, so we decided to get bumped up. One of the people riding with us ran into the back of a car and brok her collarbone. That was really depressing.	Richmond
