From the mailbag: Tappan to Tuscarawas Ride

By

Sunday, May 20, 2007 is the date of our ride. So mark that date and get back to me as soon as possible to enroll. This is a day ride. All you need to do is show up with your bike at the starting point, County Home in Cadiz, Ohio. This ride is a loop and will bring you back to your car in the late afternoon. There are many options off of this loop, from the full Century (100 mi), to a metric (60 mi) to as little as 36 mi. We all start at the same time, meet at the Lunch stop in New Phila. and return back to the County home. So .... imagine biking in the morning with Tappan Lake on your left shoulder and the afternoon biking through the quaint Ohio countryside and towns along the lazy Tuscarawas river. We all LOVE this ride and we are approaching 20 consecutive years doing it.

I have done this ride in the past and it is a great ride. I plan on going this year. This would be a great tuneup for the Heritage Trail ride the following week. If you are interested in more information please email Jack Berkovitz at impco@verizon.net. Please let him know you heard about the ride from me.

The Bipolar Trail - North Bend Rail Trail

By
North Bend Rail Trail We drove from Wheeling, WV to the trail head outside of Clarksburg, WV, a two hour drive. The plan was to ride from Clarksburg to Parkersburg, stay overnight, and return the next day. The first few miles of the North Bend Rail Trail started out promisingly. From the Wolf Summit eastern terminus the double track trail is comprised of gravel. The trail soon turned into a challenging combination of flooded sections, flooded tunnels, single track, and finally the joy of riding on trail sections completely overgrown by grass (with ruts thrown in to make it interesting). We even interrupted a few people mowing the section of the trail that ran through their back yard. We also experienced mechanical issues, unrelated to the trail, but none the less frustrating. Several flats and the loosening of the rack attachment points on my Lemond resulted in the rack clanking for 3/4 of the ride were annoyances that we could have done without. After 29 miles we reached the town of G...

Wednesday Night Ride Report

By
We had four people for the Wednesday night ride. Kevin, Doug, Sarah, and I rode 32 miles. We rode the trail from Elm Grove to Wheeling, then continued up to the Brooke county line. On the return down the river we decided to ride up 1st Street towards North Park. Then we turned onto Mt Wood Road down to National Road and the Indian. We then rode down Wheeling Hill past Fulton, through Woodsdale, where Sarah left us, and down National Road to Elm Grove. Weather was nice, it was cool and clear.
