Welcome to the Driven To Give Road Rally… Here’s what you need to know… and (more importantly) do before arriving on Saturday morning at 8:30am for the driver’s meeting… Please read through this twice. 👀
⏰ Drive Time…
The route has been recon’d twice in the past 10 days and adjusted accordingly to assure that the turn-by-turn instructions are reliable and we avoid as much construction/traffic as possible. That said, here is the day’s agenda.

⛽️ Do yourself (and your passenger) a favor, and start the day with a full tank.
The first reasonably good place to get gas is in Nashville (Map). The next gas station is in Bloomington (Map).
🌦️ Rally Weather…
Weather looks great this weekend, but Indiana’s weather is predictably unpredictable. Check the forecast and wear what’s appropriate… That could be a winter coat, a rain coat or a T-shirt. Our rallies run in both liquid sunshine or actual sunshine, we always hope for the latter.
🧭 Before you Leave…
Download the THUSIA app on your phone. You’re going to be doing it regardless, it’s easier to when you’re not in the parking lot asking unsympathetic friends and acquaintances. If you’re driving with someone you consider to be a “young person” have them do it.
⏰ Planning your Arrival…
Everyone will meet at the Silo Auto Club at or before 8:30am…. At 8:30am, we’ll have a light breakfast and driver’s meeting to review the day’s schedule, some route highlights, and more.
Plan to arrive with a full tank of gas⛽️… The first reasonable place to get gas is in Nashville (Map).
🍽️ Lunch Plans…
Lunch will be provided at The Fields in Bloomington. We’ll try to be there by 12:30pm. There’s no penalty for being late (or early for that matter), but please be aware of the time. We’ll work to get back on the road around 1:15pm.
🃏 Poker Hand…
Throughout the day, you’ll receive a card at specific times (5 in total)… Please make sure you collect a card as we are distributing them… The best three hands at the end of the day will win additional funds for their selected charity… ALSO, they’ll have bragging rights for the entire year. It’s one hand per car to keep it simple. Good luck.
📱 Navigate Safely…
Because the THUSIA app guides you turn by turn through every leg of today’s route, keeping your eyes on the road matters more than ever, so please navigate safely. To help, we’ve provided a complimentary phone holder that clips right onto your car’s vents, giving you a safe and easy way to follow the route all day.
🚔 It’s a Rally, Not a Race…
All of our rallies are specifically designed as enthusiastic and spirited drives through some of the best roads Indiana has to offer. That said, careless and/or reckless driving will not be tolerated. Members of the law enforcement community will be present throughout the course.
Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations is required, as is the use of courtesy and common sense.
😳 BE SAFE. BE COURTEOUS. USE COMMON SENSE.
If you’re driving in this event, you’re an adult licensed to operate a motor vehicle on public roads. We all know what that means. Please contribute to the solution, not to the problem.
🚨 Always drive within the limits of the law, the conditions of the roadway, and your abilities. 🚨
Local law enforcement agencies in each of the communities we will be driving through are aware of our route, please wave to and thank our local law enforcement officers for their service.
