July 24th through July 31, 2010
Our goal is to provide a cycling adventure, crossing Ohio, for the rider ready for a more independent touring experience.
Join an intimate group on a supported ride through the rolling hills of eastern and southern Ohio. We will go through beautiful farmland and forests as we skirt the Appalachian foothills of the far southeast portion of the state. We average 60 miles a day and will have a two midweek century options for the more adventurous among you that want to experience the challenge of the hillier areas.
