37th Annual Ride the Darby (Sunday)
Mileage options: Three routes - 30, 62, and 103 miles
This is the PERFECT preparation ride for Pelotonia participants! Ride the scenic and nearly flat roads along the watershed of the Little Darby Creek in Pickaway and Union counties. Depending on the route chosen, you'll pass through the small towns of Orient, London, West Jefferson, or Plain City, which are strong reminders of the agricultural heritage of Ohio. Grain silos are still a pleasant sight in these parts of Ohio.
Marked roads, with Ride with GPS route links (sent the evening before the ride) and limited on-road support. Riders are responsible for their food and water. Services are available at a minimum of three points on the route(s).
A ride leader will be present at the start and will be sweeping the routes.
