Bicycling in Bloomington

This was an easy week for riding. Old 446 Monday and Tuesday, a run on Wednesday, and hill repeats and a little detective work on Thursday. I’m off today because a 75 mile ride is scheduled for tomorrow.

Yesterday, as part of the ride, I tried to follow a Bloomington Bike Route that goes from nowhere to nowhere, as far as I can tell. It starts at the corner of Jamie and Rhorer, winds through Sherwood Oaks, and appears to end at Sherwook Oaks Park.

 It might go up the hill to Olcott Park but no sign indicates it. At the exit of Olcott Park on Canada St, I found a sign that indicated the Route goes along Canada but it was facing the wrong direction. The Route ends at the intersection of Sare Rd and Canada St. There is no apparent reason why it would be considered a bike route except to increase the bike route miles and spend money on signs.
