Silver's Epic (there's that word) Ride!

Yesterday, Silver once again completed the epic New Harmonie/New Albany ride from the Wabash River to the Ohio River. This year, they actually completed the river crossing to Louisville.

This ride starts on the Illinois line in the small artists community of New Harmonie Indiana going east through the SW Indiana farmland into the rolling hills of Southern Indiana - an area steeped in history.

Sorry...I can't figure out how to make the pics smaller

Awesome pics and an awesome ride!! Thanks for posting!!

Looks like a great ride.

The bridges and of course, the Ohio remind me of my hometown, Pittsburgh.

You look like your having a marvelous time. Thanks for the pics and writing.

141 miles! That's epic in my mind. Love the nightime shot with bridge and lights in the background and all of that reflective stuff ...reflecting! Thanks for sharing!

Those are great pics of your ride! Yes, the hills in that area are epic in their own right for sure. Thx for sharing. :)

Sounds like a great day on the bike. Crossing the 2nd Street Bridge is always a challenge. I hope the cross winds were not too bad over the river.

That guy in red looks hot.

That's fine with me. I'd probably be bored with him after a few hours anyway.

That's funny! My bad! I was looking at his bike:D

Really nice pictures, thanks for posting them! That's a LONG ride. :eek:

One interesting thing I noticed...
Even though all three riders are wearing plenty of reflective strips, notice how they look in every picture if you squint your eyes...pretending as though you are an elderly driver with poor eyesight. When you squint, the two riders in red practically disappear, but the guy in hi-vis screaming yellow still jumps right out at you. This makes me really glad that my personal policy is to always wearing a screaming yellow article of clothing every time I ride.

Again, great photos! (did you take all the photos, Mr. S?)

And Zen- quit posting pictures of that pimply Brady Bunch kid pretending to be a man! eeeeeeeewwwww! :D
