I am planning a one day ride. If I was to start in Rocheport should I ride east and return,
or west, if I am looking for the most striking landscape? Thanks

Ride a short distance west until you reach the old railroad tunnel (a must see when in the Rocheport area), then turn around and go east for the views of the river and trees.

I agree with Gary, diffently ride west the short distance to the tunnel then turn around and ride east for the the best landscape. I don't know how far you want to ride, but a nice day trip is to ride from Rocheport to Hartsburg. It's aprox 28 miles to Hartsburg. We usually ride down in the morning, eat lunch at the winery or Dotties, then ride back in the afternoon. It's an easy ride and the the river on on side and the bluffs on the other make for a fantastic view. Check the days you are going to ride and make sure places are open because most of the places are closed the first part of the week. Have a great ride!!

I agree with the suggestions to go east. In fact, I got to do it last Friday. Rode Rocheport to Hartsburg and return. Pumpkin pie at Doty's in Hartsburg was wonderful!

As far as going west to see the tunnel - it's cool. A very nice feature. It's right there in Rocheport - just a few blocks from the trailhead and the Trailside Cafe and Bike Shop. It's worth seeing, but beyond the tunnel the scenery is much less exciting as you head west in my opinion.

Enjoy the ride!
