The Loony Misadventures of Teethgrinder

Glad you were able to have some non-highway riding. The whole area around Spruce Knob (the rest of the Monongehela NF) is great.

Nice ride report.

My wife and I spent 2 months in Bloomington learning Mongolian at IU. I really love Bloomington.... it's got that great liberal campus town feeling like Berkeley. It's a rare find - such a place in the Midwest. I really love that you can see a tatooed and pierced guy rockin' a purple mohawk walking down the street holding hands with a rosy-cheeked, scrubbed-behind-the-ears, coverall-wearing, corn-fed farm girl.... and it doesn't turn anyone's head.

Here's a link to the 2-page Bloomington part of the travelogue.

Very cool. I am very familiar with breakfast at The Runcible Spoon. I visit every time I go to Bloomington (save this last trip).
