Thanks to Joyce for creating this route. It is a great beginner route which an option to cutout the upper route climbing by taking the Heart of Ohio Trail.

Had to ride through some flooding at the start, but that was the only issue. The route has a good mix of gravel, dirty roads and quiet country roads.

Some barkers and runners. A lot of horses, cows and deer in the fields. Saw the famous donkey hanging in the woods. He and I had a discussion and he was disappointed I wasn’t carrying any food for him.
