Day 54 – Prides Park, Petersburg, IN to Sycamore Springs Park, English, IN

10/4/2026

Mark drove the truck, while Rolf, John, & Greg cycled this 55.1-mile route to a huge private park outside the very small town of English, IN. It was a lovely day to cycle through the hills of southeastern Indiana. The cyclists went through a few very small towns, the remainder of the ride was very rural with both forested areas and some farmland. Much of the route went through the Hoosier State Forest.

The route ended at a very large private park for which we needed 4 sites – only 1 tent per site, even though all of our tents could have easily fit into one of most of the tents the prior campers took down. The park was very nice with lots of families and kids playing in the park.

Now that we have passed into the eastern time zone we noticed that the mornings are darker longer and the evening light hangs on just a bit later.
