Short day


Had a very short day today (40 miles) because the nearest motel after that would have been 80+ miles an I wasn't willing to do that into the wind. Also this opens the door to 70ish mile days for the next two days for motel purposes. Also I got 14 additional shortcut miles from Delaware to London and by not leaving the bike trail to sight see.

Again I did my own routing (last time for a long time if I do it again) but this time it was all Indiana backroads. In fact, I had to reroute twice to avoid roads made out of rocks :). I'd say there was a car every 5 or 10 minutes. Very hilly and windy but it's not too bad if you're only doing 40 miles of it. Had a couple of big downhills (couple hundred feet in elevation) down long and windy roads (scary if there's a car coming the other way).

I keep forgetting to mention this but I passed 1000 miles a couple of days back :)

I'm in Madison, IN and a cheap hotel (first non-motel)

  1. Yahooo!!! A hotel!! I am thinking some of the cheap motels you are staying in are scarier than biking on the highway.:)

  2. Ha! Yeah some of the places I've been staying at have been complete dumps... Well ok, most. Yesterday's hotel was still pretty bad (at like $40 plus tax)
