Camping along the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail

I’ve been over-doing the recovery from a #bikepacking trip two-and-a-half weeks ago, with only two #bicycle rides since then. Until last night, when I took advantage of the crisp weather to ride, of course, the #CVNP Adventure Loop.

Thrilled to see @nerd4cities in person tonight in #Cleveland.

The realignment of the road crossing of the @summitmetroparks Bike & Hike Trail at Seasons Rd is done!

Beautiful sunny fall day, perfect for a #bicycle ride with a stop on the #BridgeToNowhere in #Twinsburg and @handelsicecream in #NorthfieldOhio.

I didn’t feel like being out until dark tonight, so I rode an abbreviated version of the @clevemetroparks #BedfordSingletrack on the @salsacycles #SalsaTimberjack. Skipped Karl’s Corner, Touchstone, and Mars Quarry for a total of eight #MountainBiking miles.

I hit up the #CVNP Adventure Loop again, this time on my @bikefriday #AllPacka to test some recent maintenance. I detoured through the @summitmetroparks Deep Lock Quarry then Riverview Rd to get around the closed section of #TowpathTrail.

My plan was to get in a quick 20 miles after work on the #SalsaJourneyer before the rain returned. I would have made it but I had to turn back home sooner because of a slow leak in the front tire. 🥺🚴🏼‍♂️

Rode my home trail the @clevemetroparks #BedfordSingletrack today to test my new @pearlizumiofficial X-Alp Summit shoes. 👍👍

Rode another variation of the #CVNP #AdventureLoop today, following the Bike & Hike Trail down to Rt 303, then hopping on 303 to #Peninsula. You can bypass the last busy downhill into town by turning right into the Pine Lane Trailhead then continuing straight onto the abandoned road that is the #BuckeyeTrail. Be aware there are some obstacles on the way.
