The Indiana Loop

[Stichill]

That's a good ride. I've done most of it.

I think that to truly enjoy southern Indiana, in some regards you have to abandon the pursuit of curves and instead go for a "road less traveled" mindset. There are some really unpopulated and picturesque areas where the roads are straight, yes, but you can enjoy an interesting landscape regarding agriculture, forgotten small towns and the people who live there, and yesteryear's architecture. Often the land is undulating, giving you a "roller coaster" ride. Other times, you realize that you're riding on level ground punctuated by brief dives down into and up out of creeks and rivers. Sometimes you are surprised by a dead right-angle turn that comes unexpectedly. It makes for interesting riding.
