Cincinnati Bike Routes
My wife and I are from Chicago and will be travelling to Cincinnati this weekend. My question is does anyone know of any nice bike routes or organized rides for Saturday, preferrably on the east side? We are looking to do about 50 miles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Definately drop into Loveland, a burb of Cinci. There is a bike path that tip to tail runs ~70 miles. I think Loveland is about 10-15 miles into the total. All paved and plenty wide.

Yep, Loveland Bike Trail is nice, and on the east side. You'll want to take I275 to the Loveland/Indian Hill exit, left off the exit. This will take you all the way into downtown Loveland, you'll start to see signs for the trail. Best place in the Cincinnati area for an enjoyable ride. I'm no help with an organized ride. You may want to contact www.cyclesport.net or perhaps or www.montgomerycyclery.com, either the Beechmont or Montgomery stores on the east side. They might have some group info for the area.

How busy is the Loveland trail? Is it easy/safe to ride at a decent speed on the trail? (i.e. 17-19 mph) Or is the trail primarily for a leisurely type ride?
