The Greene Trails Cycling Classic is a fun, family-oriented getaway that is easy on your wallet and friendly to the environment and your health!  It is a multi-day event centered in Greene County, Ohio, and is designed to showcase the nationally recognized rail-to-trail system that exists there - and beyond, as well as the communities along the trails.  All rides begin and end at the GTCC campground located at the Fairgrounds Recreation Center beside the Greene County Fairgrounds.  Each day features and utilizes a different section of the trail with route(s) supported for rider convenience and safety.  Routes include on-trail, out-and-back trips, as well as extended rides on rural roads for designated days. The broad network of trails provides an exceptional cycling experience for those families and individuals who want to take part in a bicycle or skating tour, but prefer the safety and comfort of staying on the trails.  Alternate routes offer a choice for the more adventurous.  Each day will offer special entertainment opportunities, and lots of exciting surprises.

]]> Great Ohio Bike Adventure June 19-26 tag:pedalopolis.com,2010:forums/viewthread/.345 2010-06-12T23:11:04Z Oldshacker Each year the GOBA route features a different part of Ohio, traveling through peaceful countryside and stopping at various tourist destinations. Approximately 3,000 cyclists of all ages, from across the country (and outside the U.S.), participate each year. Riders average a 50-mile ride each day over the course of five days, through some of Ohio’s most scenic areas. Cyclists will average a minimum of 238 miles for the week with the potential of a maximum of 389 miles!

I never could make time for GOBA but, it is great to hear the stories from fellow cyclist that had.

]]> Strawberry Festival Bicycle Tour—London tag:pedalopolis.com,2010:forums/viewthread/.340 2010-06-02T16:51:24Z Cathy Has anyone every participated in this event? I would probably opt for the 21 mile ride that stays on the trail as I would be on my recumbent trike but am kind of curious as to whether the 56 mile route that includes significant mileage on country roads might be recumbent friendly.
