RAINSTORM offers an intensive week of cycling for riders preferring longer distances; several of our alumni have gone on to complete coast-to-coast cycling tours. Each day's route is approximately 100 miles, and there are no layover days.

RAINSTORM travels over hard-surfaced back roads in southern Indiana. Terrain ranges from rolling to hilly; expect to be challenged. Lodging in Indiana State Park inns (three nights) and nice hotels (two nights) is included in the tour fee. All accommodations offer comfortable beds, air conditioning, and free WiFi.

Four breakfasts and three dinners are included; menus are carefully planned for sound nutrition and variety, and include options for vegetarian and diabetic participants. At the Indiana State Park Inns, buffets are served in the inn dining rooms. Dinners in Bloomington and Terre Haute (carbo loading the night before RAIN) are on your own.

RAIN is an annual one day, one way ride across the width of Indiana. The 160 mile route runs mostly on historic National Route 40. Mass start at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, finish line at Earlham College, Richmond, IN.
