Figure out why I call this Bill's Silver. A pleasant ride through some sleepy old towns southwest of Bloomington.

Routedetails

We start at Bryan Park Pool where there is plenty of parking in the morning.  Proceed on Grimes and get onto the B-Line multi-use path, and then hop onto Rogers Street and onto Church Lane.

We then turn left at Victor Pike.  Stop at the Sunoco if you need food or drink.  The next stop isn't for 30 some miles in Bloomfield.  See if you can see the @photo[train trestle](1135627) to you left as you climb up to Victor Oolitic Quarry.  After that climb, we blow through the sleepy town of Kirksville and then turn right on Rock East Rd.  Scenic Carmichael Rd awaits you and then under the massive overpass of I-69.

Cincinatti used to be a busy crossroads town but no more.  Turn right and then left at Eastern Greene High School on Sylvania Rd.  This is quite a pleasant run all the way to Bloomfield.  You may go on a 2 1/2 mile out n back to a quaint little @photo[covered bridge](1135628) and the come back to town for some lunch.

We then turn southeast onto Mineral Koleen Rd and climb up the "Col de la Water Tower".  You can see it from a distance above you.

After Owensburg we head south on Boone Hollow Rd and then enter a part of Hoosier National Forest at @photo[Silverville](1135629), now a ghost town.  Williams next greets us with it's @photo[dam](1135630) with an outdoor restroom.  There is a nearby bait shop that has snacks and drinks and a few relaxing rocking chairs.

There's Fayetteville and Springville with competing grocery stores on the trek back north.  Also, Harrodsburg Sunoco at mile mark 99, just in case.
