French Rabbit Pinot Noir
French Rabbit Pinot Noir is great for bringing along on biking tours... I enjoy the wine (although i enjoy most), but the container is extremely handy. The wine is packaged in a carton that resembles a half gallon milk jug. The cap is a plastic threaded cap that allows for re-sealing. This works great to grab a quick glass after a leasurely ride on a mountain biking trail. Don't get me wrong - I prefer corks (real cork, corks) to any other sealing means. BUT.... The caps sure do come in handy for situations like this.

JULY 24th 2006 WAPEHANI MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK
Drove down from Michigan to Bloomfield, IN
To get to Wapehani when driving from North of Bloomfield.... Head South on I37 through Boomfield until you pass the 45S exit (Bloomfield Rd also called 2nd street).
At the next stoplight, turn left (Tapp Road).
Go immediately down hill, and turn left on Weimers Road.
Go a short distance (<1Mi), and turn left on Wapahani Road. You will see a Wapehani Mountain Bike park sign at the corner of Weimers and Wapahani Road.
Keep going down Wapahani Road and it will dead end in the parking lot.
Info on this park is located here => www.bloomington.in.gov/parks/wapehani.php

Wapehani mnt biking trail has lots of potential with one really fun and nice hill climb, and many neat stream crossings. The system itself needs some work. There are a maze of trails that would benefit greatly from a type of color coding or marking system..... Very easy to get lost or end up riding down dead ends.

Nicks English Hut located on Kirkwood Ave close to Indiana U. in Bloomfield
Great establishment to hang out and drink a beer.. The pizza looks fantastic. I got chicken fingers and they were WAY overcooked. Drank Newcastle Brown and learned how to "Sink the Bismark". Someone recommended to ride Brown County State Park...

Im heading to Kentucky in 30 minutes... I will be back to ride Indiana in two weeks.
