Indiana 52 - Indy to Cincy "Plant Run" + ADD NEW ROUTE

At the east edgeof Metamora turn south on 229. Take this road to Oldenburg. In these parts we call this road the hoosier dragon. Not a ride for the inexperienced. Follow the road to46 at Batesvilleturn left and follo it to 1 at St Lieon turn left and that takes youback to Brookville. This ride I rate a 10.

Alice and I drove this a couple of times, except we take 52 all the way from Indianapolis. There's a nice little cafe on the town square in Rushville that has the best friggin' sausage gravy around! Go on a Saturday morning and check out all the hippies (I say this in jest, they're good people) selling their wares at the farmer's market. Metamora is a nice place to stop as well. There are a bunch of quaint shops set up like an old 1840's town. I bet the buildings are original, well, at least they look it. There's even a leather shop for all of you riders that feel the need for a nice set of chaps. The prices aren't bad either. Don't forget to stop at one of the coffee shops there, and get an expresso shot.

This was a very good route. The reviews were right on as far as scenery and road quality, but I didnt see any hippies. I took the 229 addition that was suggested by a reviewer and it was awesome. I took it northboud so it ended with the long down hill into 52. I would recommend that if you are already out there to take a tour of 229. Even if you took it down and back it would be different enough to not feel like back tracking. I look forward to taking more routes from this site and hope to see you all out there. Be Safe
