Recap: AEP Lands Gravel Explorer

Ohio
Written By Ray George

ROUTE UPDATE: all gated roads in AEP Lands are now off limits to bicycle traffic. There are two legal routes in our library that avoid gated roads. Please ride responsibly.

4 cyclists. 30 miles. Temps in the 80s/90s with low humidity and clear skies. The road we thought existed did not. Saw a nice waterfall and field of daisies. Tim took on a pond and lost. Saw turtles, snakes, turkeys and turklets (baby turkeys). Bill is a certified tick magnet. 15 at last count. One flat, one blown shifter, one loose rotor.
