2020 On October 3, the White
Lick Creek & Vandalia Trail Alliance held
its 2nd annual fundraising bike ride, this year called
the Airport Loop Bike Ride around the Indianapolis
International Airport. 110 participants came out
for the event, including 90 cyclists on 20, 10, &
5-mile routes and 20 hikers and 12 sponsors supported
the event with generous donations and on-site
displays. All enjoyed the nice cool, sunny weather
during the tour around the airport's perimeter roads. It was very good to see such strong support for development of the White Lick Creek Greenway and Vandalia Trail bike/pedestrian facilities in western Indianapolis to connect to Plainfield and west, Avon area and north, and east into Indianapolis. Many thanks to the Indianapolis Airport Authority for offering their roads and generous planning support and sponsorship for the event and for their police force's very effective help escorting and providing traffic security at key intersections for the large group of cyclists spread out around their facility. Also, a big thanks to the Bridgeport Central Baptist Church for making their nice parking lot and facilities available as the ideal staging point for the event. The other sponsors of the event
were: Here are a few photos plus a link to more. ![]() ![]() ![]()
