Hey I've got a killer (at least I think so) route that winds through Brown county/ Nashville.
It is approximately a 103 mile loop starting in Northwestern Monroe and looping down and around counterclockwise through Lawrence co. eventually heading through Brown County and Nashville to end up on the North end of Bloomington.
The route is comprised of secondary highways loaded with curves hills and scenic views.
Nashville has become quite a bike haven and has some places to stop off for food and drink. Course Btown has plenty of that too.
....whaddya say?

Be sure to hit In135 while you're down there. Nice road with lots of curves. [up]

Always up for a ride.
We don't usually plan much stuff through here as we use an android/Iphone app called Kakaotalk, and usually chat about riding on there.
PM me, and I'll give you my number. I can coordinate this with you and a number of us Indy guys (like 4-7 of us)

Yeah, a few of us have done some pretty extensive rides down there amongst most of the backroads. Usually good fun! I'd be up for a pre-ride even before the 9-15 one.
One thing though, the guys I usually ride with aren't really fans of huge groups and tend to take it nice and casual with new riders =)

Sorry to hijack your post.
I can understand the long seat time just get to somewhere to ride adds up.
Highways 45, 135, and 446 would a lot shorter round-about and you could shorten that even....course I don't know which way you'd be taking to get Brown county and this last suggestion runs into and out of Bloomington as well.

Nice. [up]
I've been down 135 a couple of times and it is a great ride. In fact, 135 was responsible for me doing the unthinkable to my Sportster when I had it and raising it. A few of those decreasing radius turns got kinda hairy on that ride, what with the sparks flying and all.

We always do a long ride from Indy down to holiday world hitting lots of the back roads, try a different route every year. This has made me find some great spots! I've got a bunch of google mytracks routes from our rides around there.

Looks like Sept 15 is a workable date for others, as well! Might even have my girlfriend ride herself (she's taking ABATE this week!)
