exploring Indiana!

alpiv · 05-26-2006, 11:51 AM

In the last year or two I have ridden and compiled several routes that might interest some..
I continue to work on this list and am creating new routes as time allows..
keep an eye on this list, it is going to grow!

This is what all the routes look like when put together -- End to End

Until the next great adventure!

I'm planning on hauling my DRZ up on a visit to family in Kokomo in July or August.

Now all I have to do is figure out which GPS to buy!

Let me know when you have more of the gravel route, north of Indy, completed. My parents live in Zionsville. That sounds like a fun way to ride from Chicago to their place. Thanks, Dave.

You can mark Tippecanoe County off the list of counties with gravel roads. They are all supposed to be paved or chip and seal by 2008.

...and they'll turn back to gravel by 2010.

No kidding.

I have ridden all over trying to locate some dual sport stuff around here and there just isn't any. There are several twisty roads but just NOTHING for dual sport.

I'm sure if I ride down there I'll find the only one the county missed.

Any plans for this year?

Check out things like the original Lincoln Highway route through Northern Indiana (or the 1928 'revised' route). The Lincoln Highway was touted as "The First Transcontinental Roadway for Automobiles" and connected New York to San Francisco. If you need a place to pitch a tent along the way, just let me know.

Also, you can ride part of the original Yellowstone Trail in Northern Indiana, which promised "A Good Road from Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound." Again, if you need a place to camp, just let me know.

Always, yet May is out due to other rides and first week on June.
That leave about 5 weekends between the first week of June and the last week of July..
I'll be out the last week of July and the first week of August (TAT).

After that it will open up again to more hometown exploring.
