More on the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route.

In today's Tribune:

Riding the Underground: Cyclists pass through Southern Indiana on 2,100 mile trek.

I referenced this at here and at NAC a while back: Bicycle path through New Albany: The Underground Railroad Bicycle Route.

Here's an excerpt from the most recent newspaper article. It's Mr. G, who registered here a week or so ago. If there's time, he might report in during the journey.

Local man ready to roll

Anticipating his 60th birthday this summer, Greg Gapsis plans to finish a long bike ride while he’s still in his 50s.

A history buff, the IU Southeast instructor and former reporter for The Evening News and The Tribune decided he would take the Underground Railroad route from New Albany to Canada.

“For me it’s a combination of historical curiosity, taking up cycling as a personal health matter and doing something challenging with a broad concept to celebrate my birthday,” Gapsis said.
