Ride across Indiana
A March on! experience
Please join Indiana State University students, alumni and friends in the RAIN! The Ride Across Indiana (RAIN) is an annual ride across the State of Indiana. Its 160-mile length runs mostly on the Historic National Route 40, an older divided four-lane road with light traffic. It has gentle rolling hills. You should be able to average at least 12 to 14 mph for over 11 hours.
Riders must wear helmets and obey all Indiana traffic laws. This includes stopping at all stop signs and red lights. You must finish your ride by 9:00 p.m. (dark) to be an official finisher of RAIN. This is a maximum of a 14-hour ride.
The ISU Foundation is using this unique opportunity to engage our students, alumni and friends in the life of Indiana State while sharing our Sycamore Pride from Terre Haute to Richmond.
