This week Tom and I tried a new (to us) bike trail, the Olentangy Greenway Trail. Columbus has lots of great bike trails and the Olentangy is one of the prettiest. We chose it because we drive by it every time we go to John and Jackie’s. It parallels 315 through the northern part of …
From Bike Trails
Richland Baltimore and Ohio Bike Trail
Whenever Tom and I visit my parents we like to ride the Baltimore and Ohio Bike Trail that runs through Richland County from Mansfield to Butler. The trail is 18.5 miles (one way) of paved asphalt that is kept in very good condition. We rode one day right after a heavy thunderstorm and there was …
Historic Railroad Trail
Tom and I haven’t ridden on a bike trail in months. We planned on riding in Death Valley but the only place to ride was on the road which was either all up or all down. So while we were in Las Vegas we took some time to ride on the Historic Railroad Trail from …
Longleaf Trace
While in Hattiesburg, Tom and I took two days to ride the Longleaf Trace Bike Trail. Longleaf Trace is another beautiful Rail Trail – in fact, it is in the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame! Longleaf Trace runs from Hattiesburg to Prentiss Mississippi and was the first rail-trail in Mississippi – finished in 2004. Longleaf Trace …
The Chief Ladiga Trail from Piedmont
As you may recall from a previous post, we rode the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama from Anniston to Piedmont on a very hot October day. By the time we got to Piedmont we were hungry and tired and couldn’t find a place to eat, so we turned around and rode back to Anniston. A …
Chief Ladiga Trail
After being off the bike for almost two weeks, Tom and I took advantage of a beautiful (and HOT) day to ride the Chief Ladiga Trail. The Chief Ladiga Trail goes from Anniston AL to the Georgia border, where it becomes the Silver Comet Trail and continues almost to Atlanta. The two trails combined are …
The Kiwanis Trail in Adrian
Over the weekend we rode the Kiwanis Trail from Riverside Park in Adrian to Tecumseh. This is a short but very nice rail-trail that passes through several beautiful parks. The most spectacular is the Trestle Park at the north end of Adrian. Trestle Park has a restored depot and a bridge over the railroad trestle. …
Island Lake Trail
The Michigan weather hasn’t improved – still cool and cloudy – but we are not letting the weather stop us from enjoying the bike trails in the area. Last week we patched together a long ride from three connected trails. We started with the Island Lake Trail in Island Lake State Recreation Area. Island Lake …
Falling Waters Trail
Thursday, after a cozy Wednesday of staying inside and away from the rain that fell all day, we rode the Falling Waters Trail. The Falling Waters Trail is a rail-trail in southern Michigan that goes from Jackson to Concord. It is 10.5 miles long and I thought it was one of the nicest trails we …
Alum Creek Trail
Tom and I are back in Delaware and so we took some time to ride the Alum Creek Trail on Thursday and Friday. We rode the north section on Thursday and the south section on Friday. There is also a central section, but it is bookended by two unfinished bridges so we skipped that. The …
