Holliday Park, in Indianapolis, set by Aragorn.
A really nice little sprint, although a bit long. I chose course 3 rather than 2 because Wangki said 3 was more difficult. It was prohibited to run through the woods---you had to take trails, which was a bit Mickey-Mousey, but still very interesting. The map was quite good, with very nice drafting of tricky areas. Mintore mentioned it could use some work in the OST areas by perhaps mapping more single trees.
The weird art project sculptural "ruins" kind of blew my mind. They were completely unexpected. They definitely need some improvements for weeds and clean-up---They're getting to be overgrown.
It's really cool to get out on a new map and get confused for more than a few seconds at a time. It would be really cool to use this in the winter, and get approval to go off-trail. It's a really nice small map.

A ride down the Central Canal Towpath to the north side of Indianapolis, then east along the "Cultural Trail", and then north on the Monon trail to Broad Ripple.
I started the GPS a bit late. It's a loop that starts at the finish point.
I was disappointed that the towpath was gravel. I expected it to be paved. I was glad I had my Trek 930 mountain bike rather than my skinny-tire bike.
The Cultural Trail was a gem. It's discontinuous and bendy, but it just seems like a really cool area for restaurants and stores. Hopefully the trail helps the area.
The Monon is pretty boring, although it's convenient and quick. The crossings are a bit weird, with fake stop signs (Many are not red and octagonal---I mean wtf?).
It's been many years since I walked around the Broad Ripple area. Probably 1988 or so. I didn't walk this time. I just stopped for a Shaved Ice that was glorious.
The Central Canal is really pretty, with lots of greenspace. I hope they improve the trail.
Also---I photographed "The Waller Bridge". It looks pretty old.
