Several SAG stops to refresh and refuel along the way. Taking advantage of the best road conditions for the year, the road cycling routes cover gently rolling Indiana “hills” along lightly traveled roads and wooded creeks, between farmland and through some of the small towns of Howard County, Indiana.
