Sept 23 pictures - Canal Fulton Ride!!

We had 14 bikers for our first ride outside of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Canal Fulton towpath is definitely one of the most scenic sections of the trail and passes a fully restored lock and canal boat. The ice cream at Oser's downtown was spectacular! Enjoy the pictures!!

Sept 8th Pictures!

Sorry for the delay on these... We started the ride with perfect weather, and 18 bikers ready to have some fun! Christina joined us for the picnic for a total of 19. We did the old tried-and-true route from Botzam to Deep Lock Quarry, and made a quick stop at Szalays. Lots of fresh sweet corn, vegetables, and fruit.. the watermelon looked too good to pass up, so we bought a piece for the picnic later. At the end of the ride, it was starting to look like rain so we set up for the picnic at one of the covered shelters in Sand Run. It's a good thing, too, because we sure got a downpour! The kids loved it and spent the rest of the day playing in the creek. As always, the adults enjoyed a great time of food and fellowship! After the picnic, a few of us headed over to Rita's in Cuyahoga Falls to enjoy their most excellent Italian ice and other frozen treats! Enjoy the pictures!!
