We have returned from the 2011 HPVC East in Indianapolis, Indiana! Below are photos of the trip.

Preparing the trailer for the journey to Indiana.

 

 

Sleepy Time

After a late night of finishing the vehicle, everyone was exhausted.

 

 

New tarp

We quickly learned that open trailers are not the best for cross-country travel. We needed a new tarp after only 400 miles!

Trailer Troubles

The open trailer did not help keep our bike together. We lost several components, which resulted in more work to keep the vehicle competition-ready.
