Thanks for the follow up, rm-rf! Actually, here's my proposed route from Elizabethtown, on the OH/IN border, heading west:
Indiana - OH Border to Vincennes - A bike ride in Hamilton County, OH.
As you can see, I don't have to get back on Route 50 at all after North Bend. So I think I'll probably pass on your more northern route. But thanks for giving it some more thought.
