The sixth annual 'Five in 50' is a bicycle ride that goes through five rural Indiana towns, bucolic countryside, and historic covered bridges in 50 miles (total distance is approximately 54 miles with the first 2 miles being part of a slower parade starting through downtown Rushville). Shorter 15 and 24 mile routes are also available.
The beautiful Smith Covered Bridge is being restored and will not be available for this year's ride. Because of this, distances and routes vary slightly from previous rides.
The 'Five in 50' is NOT a timed race. However, we do have several 'Strava segments' that give riders the ability to compete against the clock and other riders.
2.9 mile Sprint from Milroy
4.1-mile Sprint to Arlington
POST RIDE
Following the ride, participants vote for their favorite SAG stop. Old-school basketball rivalries die hard in these parts. Each town will be vying for your 'Best SAG' vote. Let them work for you and know that we think you are worth it.
After your vote, you will be enjoying a local BLT sandwich with bacon from Gettinger Family Meats and Ice Cream from BRICS (Broad Ripple Ice Cream Station) in Indianapolis. You earned it!!
