Eastern-Central Indiana Canal Loop - By Guest

This was a fun trip however the parts we most enjoyed were from Connersville to Batesville. There were plenty of turns to keep a smirk on my face. The ride from Batesville all the way up to Richmond was really boring. Ideally I think we should have road from Connersville to Batesville and then turned right back around and went up to Connersville again. On our way to Connersvlle though the road is closed we had to head a little further east than expected. It really wasn't that big of a deal and added maybe 5 more miles to our trip. We started in Fishers, IN and clocked in around 250 miles for the whole day there and back. It took us from 0900 to 1700 to complete the trip (we did make a lot of stops along the way.) The roads between Metamora and batesville were the best. Be careful though, there is a bit of gravel on the road. I think they must have recently repaved the road because the gravel is black and you can hardly make it out from the road. All of rear wheels slipped out from under us at some point to be a little cautious. Other than that, it was fun. We are looking at taking a few more rides of this site in the future.
