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!
In addition to the routes on this site I also have published a map book containing 91 counties of Indiana showing paved roads and suggested routes for bicyclists. The book, "Back Roads of Indiana" is available at Hodson's Bay Company West Lafayette Indiana. 765-743-3506
Qualifier for these routes!
The following routes were developed over years of biking in Indiana and now Kentucky. The majority of the routes are on rural paved roads with minimal secondary highways to connect the county roads. Using these routes you'll almost always find that the distances between two points is more than taking a highway however the scenery is almost always better as well as lower 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.
