BIKE TOUR MAY 7th-13th

The bike tour will leave Bloomington, Indiana and will ride southward as close to the proposed I-69 route as possible. The tour will stop in towns and camp along the route, getting to know the land and the people that will be negatively affected by this road project.

The tour will cover around 90 miles, ending at the begning of the proposed route at the intersection of Interstate 64 and 164 in Gibson county. The tour group will meet with community activists in southern Indiana and share tactics and strategies for effectively resisting the road.

For those interested and who live within an easy traveling distance of Bloomington, there will be a planning meeting in Meeting Room 1A of the Monroe County Public Library at 7pm on Wednesday, April 25th.

Participants who have extra time are planning on staying in southern Indiana to carry out a listening project, where those whose land and homes will be destroyed will be visited in order to collect their stories of resistance as well as share tactics and strategies.

Roadblock Earth First! and SMASH I-69 invite all of those who want to participate to join us in Bloomington for a fun filled week of biking, camping, and road resistance. For more information, email garlicisgreat (at) hushmail.com.
