Qualifier for these routes!

The following routes were developed over years of biking in Indiana and now Kentucky. At the time they were the most direct routes using paved county roads and minimal secondary highways to connect the county roads. When possible the most scenic road was used. Over time most counties added more paved roads however in a few instances when county budgets were stretched, roads reverted back to gravel. Using my routes you'll almost always find that the distances between two points is more than taking highways however the scenery is most often better as well as the traffic. Hopefully you'll enjoy the great cycling in Indiana or Kentucky and if possible provide feedback on your trip.
I am not making any recommendations nor can I say that these routes are free from road hazards or dangers from traffic. Users of these routes will find them scenic and remote however only the user can assure they are safe on any public road.

Routing Toward West Virginia

Over the winter I'll be working on a route through Kentucky to the West Virginia border.
The route will head East from Crittenden, South of Florence, passing through Mayesville to Catlettsburg. As with my other routes it will be on the most remote paved roads I can find that are paved. A few places the route will be on short distances of highways to connect to the next remote road.
From Catlettsburg East I hope to find a resource who can provide remote road routing to the East coast. Anyone knowing of a resource please let me know!
