Three Bikes and a Car

Three Bikes and a Car
The Bezold-Lemley Crew (Dave, Lisa, Abby and Katie) along with Abby's emotional support dog "in training" - and a SAG car- are going on a bike ride! We will be driving to Cleveland then biking for 7 days back to Cincinnati. After months of watching this trail develop in various and new ways, we are looking forward to a "first hand" experience on the trail!

Day 1 Cleveland to Akron 39.4 miles on OTET/C&E Canal tow path.

 

Dipping back tires in Lake Erie!
                             Starting out into sunrise!


                          Farewell to Cleveland!

Dave conferring with Rangers for Cuyahoga Valley National Park....rechecking directions and possible detours!

Best of Day:  Camaraderie among fellow bikers on the trail.
Worst of Day:  Discovering both bridges in Cleveland under repair.
Quote of Day:  Early morning biker we met at closed bridge in Cleveland...he said the only way across was "all the way up, through Irish Bend, then all the way down."

  4. What a bummer that the bridges were closed. You'd think they would post that way in advance!

  7. Agree with Kel. Detours can present unexpected opportunities. Just ride along side each other, and enjoy the flow. Doing my best back in the Driftless to match your daily miles. Problem is, too many distractions at home. You guys are out there with a purpose. Keep pedaling.
