Madison, Indiana {May, 20 2024} – Excitement is Revving and new adventures beginning as Visit Madison, Inc. officially launches REVerie Roads! Inspired by the vision of Curt Jacobs, Sr a Madison, Indiana native everything begins and ends in Madison. Jacobs, 82, has travelled by motorcycle all over the United States racking up over 700,000 miles. While he has ‘slowed down’ spending most of his riding time to Indiana, Kentucky, Florida and Alabama; Curt’s philosophy remains, “if the road and the weather is good it’s time to ride”. So VMI partnered with a group of passionate, wanderlust Madisonians to bring you REVerie Roads which includes our flagship trail, the Serpent of 62 which encompasses 1,000 curves in 100 miles!
“We’ve recently celebrated being voted #1 Best Small Town in the Midwest and named a Great American Main Street. Now, we are thrilled to introduce this regional motor experience, which promises excitement, exploration, and discovery for motor enthusiasts of all kinds. REVerie Roads offers an immersive journey through the scenic landscapes and historic landmarks of the Ohio River Valley and beyond,” said Andrew Forrester, Executive Tourism Director of Visit Madison.
Starting and stopping in the charming city of Madison, Indiana, REVerie Roads invites adventurers to embark on an unforgettable journey that begins and ends in the heart of the Ohio River Valley. This encourages you, the rider or driver, to explore the area, indulge in local cuisine, and experience the vibrant culture of Madison before and after hitting the trails.
