Biking the Hoosier Uplands, Summer 2008

I got to Jojo’s house late on Sunday as I had been at the MHC planning retreat all morning through lunch. It was drizzling still after hard rain all morning. I put on my kneepads and nylon pants, and we got on our bikes, and it started raining hard. So we waited it out, and then started west on Allen St. to Weimer Rd. and the Clear Creek path. We were able to make it down to Church Rd., and then cut on Fairfax to Schact Rd. If you have to climb a ridge, this is the way to do it, there are number of easy climbs strung together, I usually have some juice at the top, and it is a beautiful quiet stretch of road.

We rode back north on Harrell Rd., then back east on Rhorer Rd. to Jackson Creek School and the city bike route back to the YMCA and home. We got lucky, there was only one short shower on the way back, and we ducked under a picnic shelter and waited. I forgot the camera, and so for the first time in recent memory I took no pictures, and we saw very little wildlife or wildflowers, but we really were happy to get a ride in between the showers.
