I joined Jim and Mark (plus around 20 others) today for their weekly Tour de Sunday ride around the greater Cincinnati area. Great 35 mile loop starting out of Pendry Park SE of Newport along the Ohio River. Very scenic with several good hills and lots of nice pavement. Mark and Jim did a great job keeping the group together and keeping a good pace. After a snack stop Mark took several on a shortcut with a couple of really steep hills and three dogs!!! I look forward to joining them on future Sunday rides.
Here's their route: Tour de Sunday ride May 6th, 2012
Past TDS rides
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.
