Morgan-Monroe Loop

Great run , be careful on IN 45 it gets really twisty around Yellow-wood state forest and with no shoulders to speak of cars have a tendency to throw gravel from the side to the middle of the lane making it easy to loose traction in the turns when you don't expect it.

My wife and I rode this loop today. We truly enjoyed the ride. Roads were in good condition and not much traffic. Nice scenery. We did have some deer run in front of us, so be careful.

As others have stated, this is a great area to ride in South Central Indiana. I will admit I was only able to ride the northern and western legs of the published route. There is a bridge out for construction on RT 45 at the eastern end of Lake Lemon. Had I followed my first instinct, to back track just a little, I would have easily been back on track (there were no detour signs posted for assistance and while I did have my phone, I hate relying on GPS). So I took a relatively adventurous chance and headed back west along the south side of Lake Lemon, headed generally north on Shilo Rd then back east on E Anderson Rd then north on N Low Gap Rd then north west on Mahalasvile Rd toward Martinsvile. This detour was spectacular! I'll admit there were parts where the road was little more than a one lane paved path as it wound through the wooded areas, but there were also many more dwellings along this section than I expected. Low Gap Rd takes you past the residence of C R Schiefer stone sculptor. This was an almost foreign worldly experience and definitely unexpected.
