end your ride at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Pagoda. The Track
will be open from 8:00am-2:00pm. Ride leisurely laps all day with
your family and friends, or take a few "victory laps" after your
Road Ride. Either way, you'll enjoy this unique opportunity to get
up close and personal with this historic venue!

and ride as a Team! Teams and Team Captains will be eligible for
