Yesterday’s blog title was supposed to be Easy Riding. I guess East Riding is correct, although it sounds like a Canadian parliamentary district.
We rode 42 miles today, again mostly on great trails, in to Millersburg, Ohio. Millersburg and the surrounding area are the Lancaster, PA, of Ohio, with a large Amish and Mennonite population. We had great riding weather, and somewhere along the way, the terrain changed from the flat prairie to hills and valleys. One stretch of rail trail had about two miles of gentle uphill, one to two percent grade, and an even longer downhill. After miles of flat riding, some ups and downs are a nice change.
Our first trail was the Kokosing Gap Trail. Note the bike wheels in the heart.
Scenes along a beautiful trip. Can you find me under the big, old sycamore tree?
Parts of the trail allow horse and buggy as well as bikes. We saw many more Amish and Mennonites on bikes, trikes, and electric bikes than in buggies.
I thought this courthouse was quite impressive. We are staying in a nearby hotel that was built in 1847. It is a very nice change from the chain hotels like Comfort Inn that we most frequently frequent.
