      Nolan and Varnae are both in Indy. There are also several members in the Cincinnasty area, but I wouldn't exactly call that local. Still, it's not that awful far away. Just north of the intersection you mentioned (31 & 24) there's a truck stop that used to be called Gallahad's, IIRC. I used to stop there on the way up to South Bend pretty regular when I was running a flatbed. Anyway, we've got a social group (SWOXS) that meets regularly for maintenance and rides. Check the social group page, and make your presence known if you think you might want to participate. We've got one member that comes from Chillicothe regularly. Course she's kind of an iron-butt - she'll ride the 100 miles from Chilli town, go on a 200 mile or so ride with the group, and then ride back. But, not everyone is up for that kind of mileage. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble, so I'll just shut up now .

          My bad on Nolan - he's in Morehead, KY. I know there's several around Indy, though. The way the SWOXS group got started is that I posted a message in the members lounge - similar to what you've done - to see if anyone was interested in a fall color run a couple years ago. That got the group started, and it's continued to grow since then. When it comes to getting groups together, it's more of a process than an event.

            Hi dbeardslee,
            And you guys were having so much fun we copied your idea in Southern Ontario and the SOXS were born. One day we will get together and have Alphabet soup for lunch

                I don;t live up that way, but when I get back to work, I have a project in Logansport and a new one in Warsaw. So I get up that way from time to time. If you need help getting something figured out or such let me know. I've been known to make house calls when needed.

                  I wasn't aware of this map. I just added myself and I can think of a number of people in the region who aren't showing up.
                  I know this, because Tyler knows this.

                      Hmmm...looking up some statute of limitations numbers for Ohio and Indiana. Maybe I am close to when I can be listed.
