Sunday, October 5, 2008 is the 27th Great Pumpkin Metric.

I scanned the thing they mailed because their website sucks(and was designed by a Canadian company... way to support the community) It does have all of the information you need, though:
http://www.evansvillebicycleclub.org/gpm.htmlThis will be my 4th year going. It's something like my dad's 18th year going. We do the 50K (people tend to get hit by cars on the 100K and it would take all day, and I've never ridden that far in one day so I'd be scared of a heart attack or a massive stroke). It's a fun ride, with rest stops along the way that have fruit and drinks and PBJ sandwiches. It's not a race, so you can ride as fast or slow as you want. $17 if you pre-register and $20 if you sign up there and it includes a semi-crappy spaghetti lunch after the ride. Just posting to see if anyone else was going, even though I think Mitsuman might be the only one else who road rides.
