we rode tunnel hill today. it's not bad... a few nice curves. we didn't feel like going far - that's our "short" route

the route in MO isn't 51... but rather runs along it. it's the best route in this area by far. i hope we're talking about the same thing. there's a ton of guys from chicago that come down once a year just to ride it.

Scottsburg & New Austin Indiana. Small towns, but nice twisty country roads

once you get over to the MO side and you pass the two gas stations there's a turn-off BEFORE you get to 51. that's where we ride we really need to get together and ride it some time
