Détails de l'itinéraire

We start at Bryan Park Pool at 1100 Woodlawn Ave where there is plenty of parking in the morning.  We travel east toward some of the business district on the east side of Bloomington, and then south down to @photo[Lake  Monroe](1127391), the largest man-make in Indiana.  Our first stop is at the Farmer's Market at the US-50 T.

The next mile is a little busy on US-50 but we soon turn off onto old 50 toward Leesville, the oldest settlement of Lawrence County.  We litterally fall down toward the White River but then climb up to a "devil's backbone" as there is a drop off on each side of the rode. We finish the fall to Tunnelton, an old railroad town.  Pay attention on your left and check out a fully renovated @photo[Victorian mansion](1127393), now a bed & breakfast.

We travel to a thickly forested area to Spring Mill State Park where lunch will be served at the @photo[Inn](1127413).  Ride to the @photo[Pioneer Village](1127408) and feel yourself back  in the late 1800's.  Check out the Gus Grissom Memorial Museum as you leave the state park.

We'll then briefly skirt around Mitchell and then towards Bedford.  Be carefull on IN-37 where you will continue straight on US-50 while the IN-37 traffic exits to the right.  We come into Bedford an odd way, but I want y'all to ride by @photo[Willows bit of Heaven](1127409), our vacation rental open throughout the year.

It's now back up to Bloomington through "the Alps" as the local riders call it with a few massive climbs.  There is a respite of a convenience store at Springville if you need to stop.
