I suspect many of you have already done some of them this year......
There's no chance I'll ever ride as hard as the rides on the Tour
I've already completed the Bike Florida tour the year. I had a great time and it was nice to get away from the snow and ice in Ohio for a week.
I'll be riding GOBA (Great Ohio Bike Adventure) again this year. Last year was flat but this year they're heading to the Hocking Hills area in SE Ohio where there are a few hills. The week before this tour I'll be joining others in the forum for the Finger Lakes tour where I've heard there might be some more hills. Have I lost my mind
In September, friends and I plan on riding from DC to Pittsburgh via the C&O Canal and Allegheny Passage trails. I'm thinking about taking the mountain bike for this one. I just bought new tires, saddle and rack for the bike. Now I need to get them installed and start making adjustments to the bike. This one will be another trip like the Katy Trail - one of the wives will drive SAG for us and we'll be moteling.
