Wanting to ride the remainder of the last day of RRRiK I drove to Falmouth Kentucky to start.
The 61 mile loop was on remote roads as usual with a few miles of highway to connect the remote roads. A stop in Cynthiana at Biancki's Restaurant near the halfway point for lunch then heading back North to Falmouth.
The roads were scenic, rolling and a nice ride on a sunny cooler summer day.

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.
