Tour of the Scioto River Valley

The Tour of the Scioto River Valley (TOSRV) is an annual bike ride from Columbus to Portsmouth, Ohio and back. This route covers 100 (or more) miles each way over the flat and gently rolling terrain of Southern Ohio.

The 2004 TOSRV was on May 8-9, with over 3,000 cyclists participating. This was my first time participating in TOSRV, and with warm temperatures and clear blue skies, I was told that it was the best weather for the event in ten years.

Peace Ride for Tibet’s Independence

Today I joined up for the day with the Peace Ride for Tibet’s Independence. This ride was from Washington, DC to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from April 10 through April 24.

On this day, my friend Mariann and I met the group at Frankferd Farms in Valencia, PA, whose owners had been kind enough to house the Tibetan cyclists and their support staff for two nights. We biked from Butler, PA, almost 80 miles to the village of West Hickory, PA.

If you would like to learn more about the ride, and about the Tibetan Independence cause, please visit their web site at www.rangzen.org.
