Indysteel, I would love to ride with you some Sunday afternoon - get to learn new routes & meet someone from TE at the same time!
I live in Speedway and would love to know what routes you took in Zionsville - I am only about 15 minutes away. This weekend I am planning on hitting Eagle Creek. Johnson County is beautiful as well, so am looking forward to meeting you when my skills have progressed a little and we can get our schedules together.
I had you confused with someone else on TE. Someone east of Indianapolis had told me of a trail that goes down to Richmond.
Catrin,
The route that I did starts at 106th and Michigan. It's the route that Nebo Ridge (the bike shop at that location) has marked for its training ride. I didn't do the training ride; I just followed the route. The shorter route is about 18 miles and the longer route is 27 or so. If you stop into Nebo, they'll likely be able to give you a map, but the route is typcially marked with orange Dan Henrys that are a circle with an "N" in the middle. My guess is that they'll be re-marking it soon with the training riding starting up in April. There's not a lot of traffic on the route, and it's a great way to get used to riding on the road.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
