Where are the Ohioans?

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Hi friends,

We have been lured from Michigan to Columbus, Ohio. I will hang back a year until we graduate our junior. I am so sad to leave Michigan, but am  always excited for new adventures, and especially of the biking kind. I am hoping some of you are in that area and maybe we can meet for some rides.

Leah, congrats on a new chapter! Although the riding in Michigan is superb from what I have heard, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by what you'll find in Ohio. From my experience, I've yet to find a state with a better network of bike and recreational trails. They really did it right and took advantage of the opportunities for rail trails and connecting metro parks.

While I am in central Kentucky, I do a lot of riding in southwestern Ohio, from Cincinnati up towards Dayton and Yellow Springs by way of the Little Miami Scenic Trail (a Rails to Trails Hall of Fame trail). My buddy Huston (a longtime member here) and myself are just starting to plan for a Riv meetup along the Little Miami at some point this year. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted, as I'm sure it could prove a convenient, central location for many others here. Despite you still being in MI for a while longer, perhaps you'd consider making the trip to get a taste of some of the trails OH has to offer?

Brian, I would love to come to that ride! My schedule is pretty open so please let me know. I had not heard about much outside of OTET in Ohio so this news cheers me greatly.

When I get to Columbus, at the top of my wishlist is a biking best friend (or 3). I have had so much maturation in my bike life in Michigan but one thing I lacked was a kindred spirit to adventure with. I’d love to cultivate friendships that would yield partners to bike tour with. I got started with my college boy but he is graduating early and leaving for parts unknown. I am in want of new riding partners! 

Thanks for all this uplifting news!

Also the opportunity to ride in the two-day, 200 mile TOSRV (Tour of the Scioto River Valley) in May from Columbus to the Ohio River and back.  And, yes, since it's a two day event there's the opportunity for bikepacking.

WHAT?! I must sign up for this IMMEDIATELY, whether I’m still in Michigan or not!

Looks like it leaves from Chillicothe this year.

Wait.., you are moving to Columbus but not for a year? Is that correct?
