This is a nice easy afternoon ride with two picturesque villages/towns.

The roads are generally good(smooth surfaces) although on 11/1/14 we encountered quite a few sections where there is resurfacing going on which reduced the speed on some of the 'curvy bits'.

Riding on a Sunday afternoon there was very little traffic and when we did encounter anyone there are plenty of straights to pass.

This is the sort of route you could do time and time again to practice technique. I'm thinking or reposting after adding a few more hours of roads to make it a day ride.

455 East of Preston (289) is fun for a few miles but becomes a gravel pit where they are resurfacing; currently 2 miles east of Weston. I like to head north on Preston (289) to Gunter. High speed limits and open road make for a nice relaxing blast past farms and a few gas stations. Next time I am up there I will try taking Main (121) as an alternate way of getting east to 75.

Found myself with a free Thursday and quite bored, so I started looking for routes. I was very glad to run across this route! Started off in the morning and got to Lucy's on the Square in Celina about lunch time. Their chocolate meringue pie has been on my mind ever since! I will definitely be hitting this route again as it is a great easy ride along with some good stops along the way too. Be careful of the road work though, they are still doing construction and at one point I almost ate it with a poorly notated temporary stop light that came out of nowhere on part of the country road. If you're looking for a laid back Sunday evening ride, look no further!
