Biking the Hoosier Uplands, Summer 2008

It was in the 30’s today, but we had to get out early as I had a gig in the afternoon. We started at Jojo’s about 9:30am and headed west and then south to the Clear Creek Trail, which we rode to the end at Church Rd. We rode this across 37 where it becomes Fairfax, and rode right to and took it up the hill to Harrell, and from  there to Stipp Rd and the lake, then up Schwartz Ridge to old 446 and home.

Though it was cool, we worked up a sweat on the hills. When we stopped at lake, we soon got cold in the wind off the water, but Schwartz Ridge hill soon fixed that. I guess that because of the cool weather, we pretty much hammered for the whole trip, none of our normal lollygagging and rubber-necking mother nature.

We saw a few dozen gulls feeding at the lake and maybe a I heard a hawk. The water was still really low, with wide mudflats where there is usually a couple feet of water.

Distance: 25 miles
Weather: Cool and cloudy
