What A Difference A Day Makes

So the lyric is penned and how true it was this Saturday. After we all have been melting like candle wax and breathing who knows what in the air, it was like a dream when I headed out to get the newspaper up at the street this morning.

After a hardy breakfast I took off on my bike and headed to Clarksville on the Lewis and Clark, up Hwy 31 to Sellersburg and then continued Hwy 31 North before taking a left on Perry Crossing Road. Cruised past Fuzzy's Covered Bridge and then back in towards IUS via Hwy 111/Grant Line Road. Took the same route that the Tour de Garde did last week through IUS, Hausfeldt Lane and Green Valley Road before heading up Cheery Street Hill to the house.

Great ride and will add it to my rotation of growing routes in the never ending NICE roads of Clark County. Will try and ride in the morning before me and my bride take a day to Indy to enjoy life for a change instead of working so damn much.

Edward, you ride on a lot busier roads than we do. You can make parts of this a lot more pleasant if you don't like riding those highways so much.

For example, when you were on Hwy 31 through Sellersburg, after you pass Silver Creek HS on the left and the Essroc Cement factory on the right, you can take the next road on the right which is called Weber road. This road runs along a creek and is nice and shady most of the way. Then when you come to the "T" you can turn left onto Bud Prather road which will take you back to Hwy 31 and all you have to do is cross Hwy 31 and you are on Perry Crossing Road. Much more fun and pleasant than riding up 31 if you ask me. Give that little "detour" a try next time.
