Fifty miles in Indiana State Highway 62 west is about as good cycling as it gets. It’s challenging: lots steep climbs; and exciting: lots of curvy downhills. At Leavenworth, the horseshoe curve of the Ohio River is extraordinary. The hills begin to taper by mile thirty, and forty miles in I was in undulating farmlands.

 

Then I turned onto Highway 162 and rolled into Santa Claus, a holiday-themed town with a huge amusement park that is every bit as kitschy as it sounds.
