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.

Fantastic Road Ride Near Cincinnati in Northern Kentucky

Today I had two friends from Indiana join me on a Crittenden / Falmouth Loop ride. It's a 50 mile ride on remote paved roads through the hills and hollers. The friends loved the route and scenery. Plenty of hills but just another thing that makes the ride so memorable.
The ride starts at Crittenden just off of Interstate 75 at exit 166. The halfway point is at Falmouth where there are several places to get a bite to eat.

A word of caution! There are several great downhills on the ride however many of these have hazards such as sharp switchbacks, rough stream crossings or just varying pavement and gravel washed out. It's best to enjoy a nice easy decent.
