Please allow additional drive time to the Hilly this year. Since the State has pushed for quick completion of the I-69/SR 37 project, all North and South bound traffic is restricted to a total of two lanes for several miles south of Martinsville leading to delays of an hour or more on SR 37 and Old 37, particularly during the evening commute. The recommended alternate routes are to take SR 67 to SR 231 to Spencer Indiana and approach Ellettsville from the East on SR 46, or to take I-65 south to the Columbus exit and take SR 46 West through Nashville and Bloomington to get to Ellettsville. This may be aggravated by the fact that IU has now scheduled a home football game with Charleston the same weekend as the Hilly.
Those of you still interested in volunteering, there are still some options for you get a free registration by riding to the Rest Stop, help us man the Rest Stop for your volunteer hours, and then be released to finish the Hilly that day.
We look forward to seeing all of you at the 50th Hilly in 3 short weeks!
Thanks,
Mark
Hurricane Irma's effects may extend as far as the Hilly this year.Our past Executive Director has pointed out that IU is looking at scheduling a home game for October 7th. What this means to you is a strong recommendation to confirm any hotel reservations you may need as soon as possible.
Thank you - we look forward to seeing you at the 50th.
