A Pair of Rides to Work

Tuesday, April 22, and Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Just chiming in to report a couple of rides to a couple of jobs.

Ride one would be to the Indianapolis Public Schools Headquarter Building. I was to run a camera, as I do twice a month, for the school board meeting.

I started out on Washington Street, heading west into downtown Indianapolis. I veered north onto Shadeland. I thought if we went to dinner someplace that doesn't take credit cards, I need some cash. I rode up north to near 16th Street, and stopped at the bank.

I returned south on Shadeland Avenue to Tenth Street. I headed west, and took Tenth Street as far as I could into town. It curves south, and eventually joins St. Claire Street. I took that west, and arrived at the headquarter building.

It was an action session, and the meeting was over in good time. I headed north up Delaware Street, and took the exit to I-70, heading east out of town. Running the super slab at 55 mph, it didn't take long to get to the beltway of Indianapolis, 465. I took the ramp south, traveled on 465 south for about a mile, and then took the ramp to Washington Street.

The next morning, I had to report to work for IPS one more time. Not heading to the headquarters, but to the studios. I headed into town on Washington Street, and would take that west until State Street. I turned south, and cruised through the Fletcher Place Neighborhood until Fletcher Avenue. I passed west through the mix of old home designs, some remodeled, some showing their age. A slight curve in the road would lead me to the studios.

After an abbreviated shoot, I mounted up, and took Fletcher Avenue North a short bit, and the a road to get on the highway. The first section was actually I-65/I-70. This combination only lasts a few miles until the highways split and I took I-70 to the east side of town. Two ramps, one to 465, and another to Washington Street would take me to home.
