I did a very beautiful figure 8 loop century through Monroe and Brown Counties on Sunday. There
was about 7,000 feet total elevation gain.

Major problem in Northern Monroe/Southern Morgan County, however. Virtually all the road signs are
missing! Fortunately I had a map and some nice local folk to tell me what road I was actually on.
Nevertheless, there was some significant "improvising" going on.

But isn't it a lovely place to get lost. Go back in October when the leaves are in full color.

How'd you like the hills?

I did Haleakala in Maui this summer-10,000 feet of elevation. I thought the ride in Indiana was
actually harder tho less total elevation.

The hills- The one going south right before Stinesville---3.5 MPH.

I thought it was just me, I often find rolling hills more difficult than straight climbs. I think it
has to do with always loosing the "big mo" in rolling hill country.
