S.E. Indiana Roads?

[Guest]

I may be heading to Shelbyville, Indiana and also over to Camp Atterbury for a week. Thinking of riding the FJ-09 out there, if weather permits. Are there any can't miss roads out that way? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thinking between there and the Ohio River would be some nice riding.

Indiana 66 along the Ohio is a great run from Cannelton to Leavenworth or vice versa . 450 and 150 are staples of our annual Indiana rally based in Bedford.

What's that road out of Salem? It has all them hills that you can get airborne. Cotton mill road or something like that. That's a fun one...

Beck's Mill Road

Part of Beck's Mill is pretty much a paved moto cross track.

I thought 37 out of Paoli was nice and 229 from US52 to Batesville will get you started. In Batesville you can have a ho hum ride to Nashville then start down 135 through Story Inn and into Bedford

Yes, Yes, There are some nice roads there.

To help you find Becks Mill Road: Its northern end is just south of Salem, and it goes to Federicsburg. ANd then from there you can take 337 to get to the 62 mentioned above.

If you are wondering why these folks from Michigan and Kentucky and Tennessee and Illinois know about these roads; the answer is: THe GSR Brown County Rally. Has been in June in Bedford in recent years. (May, Columbus before that.)

What I would like to provide to you is Brian bwringers great maps (that use at the rally) but I havent been finding them lately (have politely pestered him about that). Maybe someone can point us to these great maps.

If you want to stay a night in the middle of the nice roads, look up the Rosemount in Bedford. Is an old but clean motel in town, off the highway. Tell Jay the GS Suzuki guys sent you.

Here found some of Brians older maps. Anything, and I maen anything highlighted on these maps are great (at least this flat lander Michigander thinks so).

THese maps will have that Gatesville road, which can find not far from the Camp Atterberry you mentioned.

Hum,,, these maps are not the ones I had in mind. These are more around Nashville and and Bloomington and Bedford. Al roads highlighted are good-great. They dont get you down to the river, and dont have Becksmill highlighted.

You said "south central", all of these will be just west of central or further west of central.

No not at all. It's a smooth road, but with mounds. If you hit it at the right (or wrong) speed, you can actually catch some air! It is a really fun road to check out.👍

No. As stated, Beck's Mill is a an actual road. It's fun so worth riding if nearby. Bumpass Pass is goat trail through a scenic trailer park.
