Stealth introduction: new to the forum, although was active many years ago on T@H. Have been lurking for a while now, but plan to be a regular. Greetings! So...

Family get together in Lawrenceburg KY next week, and we're hoping to bring the bike and maybe get a ride or two in, anything in the 20-50 mile range. Any good routes in the vicinity? Main criterion might be low traffic...
Thanks,
John

Here's a scenic 40 mile route along the Ohio River. One way mapmyride (http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ky/union/527179663) route--you can do it in the reverse direction, starting from Petersburg KY. It's quite flat for this area, with 3 or 4 100-150 foot hills to climb. The route is easy to navigate, too. (This is the "Flatness Is Relative" ride for the Cincinnati Cycle Club.)

It goes through Rabbit Hash KY. Make sure to stop at the old general store there. And maybe you'll see the buffalo herd at Big Bone State Park, too.

Thanks. That is a bit farther away than I had hoped, but within reach, anyway. Glad to see the MapMyRide link, too.
