We rode most of the day’s 50 mile ride to Richmond, Indiana, on the Cardinal Greenway, a 62 mile long rail trail that cuts diagonally through Indiana. We rode a short portion yesterday, and today got back on just a little further down and rode to the end, right on the Indiana Ohio border. The trail is nationally recognized, well maintained, has many more picnic areas and bathrooms than most, and with a combination of long wooded stretches and peeks at small towns at trailheads, was a joy to ride. Weather-wise, the day was perfect, which made the trail seem even nicer.
Mile marker along the way. Wonder where the got all the big rocks.
Interesting bike racks

The trail is built on the old C&O rail line which operated until 1986. Work on the trail began in 1993, and the trail just celebrated its 25th birthday.
