Details:
Are you looking to make your 2018 mileage goals. Join us for a leisurely 104-mile (or what ever you choose to do) ride thru the Southern Ohio countryside. The Little Miami Trail offers nice scenery with plenty of rest stops in the towns that run along the converted railroad line.
It's about 120 miles to Loveland, OH from Lexington. Plan on a 2-hour drive. The best driving route is:
I-75N and then I-71N after crossing the Cincinnati bridge. Take I-275 East for a few miles then the Loveland exit 52 make a left on Loveland Madeira road following the signs to downtown Loveland. Make a right on West Loveland avenue and after a mile the trail entrance and parking will be on your left next to Paxton's grill. For those who use Google maps, or other driving aid the Paxton Grill address is 126 West Loveland avenue. We'll meet in the parking lot close to the restroom facilities. There is parking all along the trail and on the other side of Paxtons Grill, so parking should not be a problem. Tim has a white Acura MDX.
Ti will check the weather the night before and the day of. If rain is a certainty Tim will post a notice on the BCC Facebook page and cancel the ride no later then 6 AM.
Any questions, please call Tim at 859.552.4117 or email at tklesk@gmail.com.
