Ideas for 2015 short tours
I've been doing a short, week long tour each summer for the last three summers. Across Ohio twice, 2012 and again in 2013 then rode the C&O and GAP in 2014. This summer I'm thinking of crossing Indiana on a ride in the spring and later in the summer riding across Missouri on the Katy Trail. I'd really like to be riding the Northern Tier for my 50th year but that isn't in the cards for this year.
Crossing Indiana would be my first multi-day ride where I'm not traveling mostly by riding rails to trails. I actually won't be traveling much by bike trail at all since the only bike trail we will come across is in Columbus, Indiana. I've mapped it out and now have to share it with a friend who is considering joining me. The route isn't set in stone. We are roughly looking at crossing from Vincennes, Indiana to Brookville, routing ourselves through the northern part of the Hoosier National Forest.
Any ideas or warnings about crossing Indiana are welcome!
Thanks
