Nowhere else in the Midwest can you find it. The patches admittedly are short, steep, and slippery. It's only 360 feet deep. An exercise in placidity. This century ride loops through such evocatively named towns as Farmers Retreat and Rising Sun.
Cows ruminate by the roadside.
Amish buggies amble by, and long, slow barges chug up the Ohio River. Loop starting and ending at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Madison. Follow Indiana 56 to Indiana 262 to Indiana 62 to complete the loop. Happily, thick carpets of damp oak leaves soften the blow. Mariah Media Inc. All rights reserved.
