Wheeling Rides

I nominate a few that I have ridden... Airport Hill (Girty's Point Road) - Ohio County Airport Kirkwood Heights - 18% Bridgeport Stone and Shannon - Wheeling Wheeling Park Drive to WPHS - 16% Wheeling Rt 88 south of Bethany 1st Street - Wheeling 29th Street Hill - Wheeling Boggs Hill Road - Wheeling Miller Hill - Wheeling Bellview Heights Rd - Bellaire Kilgore Rd. - West Wheeling Post hill climbs that you consider the toughest.

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 ema...
