Adding Spice to a Saturday Morning Ride

After a relaxing stop at Tremont’s Civilization on Lincoln Park it was downhill to the Flats

Saturday morning rides are drawing larger crowds all the time. Pat Smith and Randy Austin’s drive to find interesting and varied routes with plenty of time for clubbing. That is plenty of gregarious chatter, that special breakfast and a pinch of excitement.

ATTENTION: Registration closes July 31. Only a few camping spot available as of August 27. Be sure to get your place today!.

 

Hardy riders from as many as five states converge on Canal Fulton (long route) and Kidron (short route) the weekend of August 14 far, far away from the “mad” crowd pedaling to the point. These riders look forward to the challenge of two courses designed for the experienced cyclist and the hospitality of the local communities.

Roscoe Ramble XXXVII winds its way through rolling farmland to Roscoe Village, a restored Ohio Canal village. Riders will stay in nearby Coshocton and return to Canal Fulton or Kidron on Sunday, August 15.  The lunch stop is at an Amish farm featuring several home-made items. The Sunday return route follows the Holmes County Bike Trail (paved) with an option to ride a road route instead.

Absolutely Beautiful Country Ride 2011 Crushes It

Hill in Medina Ohio farm country not enough to tire these riders

Akron Bicycle Club has offered the Absolutely Beautiful Country Ride to Ohio’s cycling community for 35 years. This signature ride continued to be an area favorite with multiple routes chosen for level of difficulty and scenic vistas of farms, thoroughbreds and miles of fields. Riders were encouraged to relax in small towns along the routes to re-energize for the next big push.
