    That sounds like a ride I could manage.

    What is karst topography? (Yeah, I could Google it, but I'm wondering why you think it's special enough to suggest it.)

    It isn't flat corn fields - it doesn't fit most peoples idea of what Indiana looks like Think caves and sinkholes at times - and you can see more here on karst in Indiana.

    Also some very sweet single-track is found in southern Indiana at our largest state park - I think she would like to see that

    Roxy, I've done the ride 3 times and while flat sounds nice, it seems the wind blows every direction you turn. You know, that north-south-east-west wind? And with no hills, you HAVE TO PEDAL THE ENTIRE TIME!!! No breaks on the downhills.

    Sorry for the highjack. I love learning about different parts of our country and world through Maidei's travels. What's next? So where is Maidei headed now?

    Just let me know where she's to go next. She's in Maryland now - so maybe going to NE first and then to Ohio from there is the better travel plan?

    I'll post some pictures later this evening. Poor Maidei even got to be a part of a little tumble off my bike, yet again! At least she survived it unscathed.

    I think NE first is better, but I thought she was already en route to P'bgh?

    (In either case, Pittsburgh before Ohio and Ohio before Indiana? Once we get out here we can probably make most of the connections in person.)

    She went with me home to Pittsburgh for a Livestrong Challenge fundraiser with my team. So we rode around and took some photos in Pittsburgh (she really liked riding the inclines!) Then she drove back with me to Maryland.

    Hope she doesn't come up with any post-tumble injuries! Did she sign a waiver before the ride??
