I'm in as long as Mother Nature continues to bestowe her blessings upon us.
If there is interest in a "semi-spirited" pace on a longer route, even down into KY, I'm up for that. I've played with a couple routes, one stays in Indiana, but just barely.
My proposed routes stay off the main highways as much as possible. Neither route would be a "smell the roses" kind of tour. However, it won't be an insane peg dragger, buck plus ride, either.
The "Little Dog" route is just under 300 miles. It goes to Corydon, then down near the Ohio river, down to Derby, Rome, then over to Tell City and back "the back way" through Shoals and Bedford.
The "Big Dog" route is 350 miles and goes into KY. It's a big loop that goes all the way to Leitchfield and back, still staying off major highways as much as possible. In KY, there aren't many highway options, but the secondary highways down there always seem to be a lot of fun, with light traffic and friendly motorists.
If you all plan on an early dinner, the Big Dog probably wouldn't work. The nice thing is, though, the two routes I might take are exactly the same on the northern half. If the ride starts to run late, I could easily expedite back to the northern leg to save some time. More than likely, the little dog route will be plenty and it should be a really pretty ride down near/along the Ohio river and back.
Let me know if anyone is interested. If you PM me your email I can send you a S&T file and/or a MapSource file (once I finalize my route and convert the file).
