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.

My kind of road!
Getting into the fall is when I usually begin researching roads for the next summer's five day ride. Google street view is a big help in doing this however even Google doesn't get as far into the backcountry as we sometimes go. That being said I did notice the above pic where opposing local vehicles must have one side of the car in the grass/ditch to pass! Finding these roads, as long as they are paved, is what make the summer ride so special.
This road is on the route between West Liberty and Grayson Kentucky!
