Cycling Route for 8/9

09 Aug

Wow, what an awesome day for cycling!  Is was partly cloudy and cool…well, the mid seventies, which is cool for this time of year.  I rode up past the Fishers airport and up Eller Road to River Road.  I took that up to Noblesville.  There, I had to stop for water…I really need to get a Camelback, because I was already dehydrated by the time I stopped.  I continued up to Cicero, stopping for a rest at the Morse Lake park.  I continued out 234th from Cicero to SR 37.  I took that back down to Noblesville, and then Lantern Road back down to Fishers and Castleton.

Cycling Route for 7/19

19 Jul

It’s been a while since my last ride, and I could really feel it.  I’ve had an allergic inflamation of my left eye, and I’ve tried to avoid exacerbating that by staying away from the places where my allergies flare up.  Those just happen to coincide with the type of places I like to ride.  My eye doctor gave me some Allerex eye drops.  Those seem to help, so I thought I’ld give it a try…we’ll see how the eye looks tomorrow.  I’ve walked the Fallcreek Greenway before, but this was my first time riding it.  All in all it was a nice ride; except, there was a nasty wind out of the south which had me exhausted by the time I hit the Monon.  Anyway, here’s the route:

Cycling Route for 6/8

09 Jun

I made a few of mistakes on my ride yesterday. First, I decided to leave at around noon on a very windy, ninety degree day. Next, I left on an empty stomach. Third, I only brought one bottle of water with me. Finally, I got 20+ miles from my house before I realized this all was a mistake. The net result was that I was too exhausted when I finished to post this yesterday.

Anyway, it’s an awesome route. It’s one I rode a lot last year. There are a lot of variants of this route, and optional extensions that can be applied to various place from downtown. So, without further adieu, here’s the route:

Cycling Route for 6/1

01 Jun

I had a strong head wind coming out of the north, so the first third of the route was kind of rough. Now that 146th over to Hamilton Town Center is complete, traffic is quite a bit heavier on Cumberland Road. The new pavement on 146th and the bike lane on Oleo Road rock. Coming back out of the Geist valley, not so much. Bit of rain toward the end, but I was so exhausted and dehydrated that it felt good :) Anyway, today route:

Cycling Route for 5/25

25 May

Finally, a weekend without rain. I got the bike out and did one of my favorite routes from last year:

Cycling Route

It was an awesome day for a ride: partly cloudy, not too windy, and not too crowded on the stretch of the Monon that I covered. Best of all, traffic was light because of the 500.
