Greene Trails Cycling Classic 2009

2008-12-12T12:41:58Z

The 6th annual Greene Trails Cycling Classic is a 4-day bike tour centered in Greene County, 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 in Xenia. Get ready for fun activities, the ever popular Century Ride, great food and good friends. 250 riders from 8 states participated in 2008 with lots of good suggestions and comments to help us plan 2009’s event. As always, routes will include on-trail, out-and-back trips, and possibly extended rides on rural roads for designated days. Each day will offer special themed entertainment opportunities, and lots of exciting surprises.

Another section of trail to open

2008-10-23T07:02:36Z

I received this in a newsletter and thought I would pass it along in case anyone has missed it.

Tipp City Connected to Troy! – At long last the gap in the Great Miami River Recreation Trail in Miami County between Tipp City and Troy is closed! The trail will be dedicated at 10:00 AM Thursday 30 October, 2008 at the Tipp City Nature Center.

Now if they can finish the section of trail from just north of Taylorsville Dam to this trail we’ll be able to ride from downtown Dayton to Troy. Looking at a map there seems to be some quiet country roads that would cover the unopened section. I’m hoping to get out there and check-out this road route soon.
