Marion to Indianapolis (115 km)

Today was Steffi´s last biking day, so we made it a long one. And to make it even tougher, the wind was back. But she made it without any complaints and after more than 6 hours on the bike we found our wunderful B&B (The Nestle) in downtown Indianapolis. Tomorrow we will take a bus and bring her to Chicago, from where she flies home! The bike we donate to a scholl nearby.
Unfortunately we had to stay on main road most of the way and as we approached Indianapolis the traffic became really a pain. It requires constant concentration and that makes it tiring. But the roads are really good, very few holes so that at least we do not have to watch out for that too. In future, we will try to avoid the big towns, too dangerous and no proper bikelanes.

That helps!

One funny thing here are the incountable signs on the roadside. While driving we see them and sometimes have to laugh about them. The main message, get something cheaper or go out and look for Jesus. The churches have a lot of signs. But nothing matches the advertising for food, all you can eat is very common. Yesterday after a long drive we saw a pancake restaurant where you can eat as much pancakes as you like for ..... 3.99. As hungry as we are after a day cycling, they would make a huge loss! But we didn´t try. We had a salat instead.  

Watch the words, all cut short!
