For the first time in 3 or 4 years I'm finally not already booked on IRI weekend. Whew.

[Jim Zondag]

Already looking forward to it!

Here's to hoping we're good enough this season to get into IRI. We're making every effort to be, but who knows what the new year will bring. I'd really like to make a summer trip out of driving out there.

[Undertones]

Excellent. Looking forward to this event this season!

[Jim Meyer]

Looking forward to it! We're going to try to get down to Brown County before IRI to do some Mountain Biking this year!

How many teams get invited? Also, if I may ask, how would a team go about getting an invitation?

The number changes each year, but it's an application process.

Figure between 60 and 70.

Do well during the FRC competition season. When a team applies to be considered for IRI, that's a big part of what the selection committee looks for.

Took my bike down there 2 or 3 years ago during IRI-- figured out eventually that I rode the trails "uphill", starting on the south end and working my way north. Everyone else was going the other direction. But hey, the ride downhill on the paved roads was a hoot!!! Be sure to consult with someone who knows the trails, there are some rocky treacherous parts.

//* wait, I meant starting on the NORTH end and working my way SOUTH. You should start on the South end!! *//

There is an awesome bike trail not to far for LN. Its called Town Run Trail Park. Its right in a busy area of town but once you hit the trails it's like your in the middle of no where. Personally, it is my favorite trail.
