Traverse the state of Ohio, from the Ohio River to Lake Erie, on 326 miles of rail, canal, multi-use trials and quiet rural roads from Cincinnati to Cleveland.
This is a moderate, yet relaxing ride through lush farmlands, while visiting quaint small town and enjoying what four of the major Ohio cities have to offer regarding music, art, and culture. Cycle of Life Adventures offers the trip for those who are more comfortable on bike paths and rail trails.
This tour takes on flat roads and trails with mileage ranging from 35 to 70 miles per day, giving you the opportunity to explore quiet rural roads of central Ohio at your pace.
This tour is a destination tour, starting in Cincinnati and ending in Cleveland. You will experience the Midwest at its finest, from the tranquility of the second largest Amish settlement in the country to the arts and culture of Ohio metropolitan areas. You will share the “road” with other cyclists, hikers, and the clip-clop of horse drawn buggies.
Each day of the tour brings new and interesting areas of exploration. Historic farms, factories that have been revitalized with different uses, urban and national parks, the 3rd longest covered bridge in the US will be part of our daily adventures. The well-designed Ohio and Erie Trail connects the length of Ohio with a variety of mostly well-maintained off-road bike routes. Rides into the small and historic towns of Millersburg, Massillon, Xenia, Mt. Vernon, where we take in nature and history.
Come to Cincinnati early for this tour and take advantage of the local art and music. Or stay afterwards in Cleveland to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
