Ashtabula Covered Bridge Loop 9/25/16
I will be hosting my second Ashtabula Covered Bridge ride on September 25TH 2016 and hoping some of you join us for this epic ride! You will visit 8 covered bridges and ride the Western Reserve Greenway Trail in beautiful Ashtabula county Ohio! I promise you this will be an unforgettable ride for anyone that comes!
Here is the Ashtabula Crank Bicycle Club Facebook event page...........

Here is a link with a map and route details..........
https://ridewithgps.com/trips/8629697
This is a mostly paved 46.6 mile ride and will take 6-8 hours with plenty of stops and places to get refreshments. I suggest 2 water bottles, snacks, spare tube, and misc tools to bring along with you. This ride can be done on a road bike, but there are a few short jaunts of gravel road to some of the bridges.........
Here is a link to last year's ride if you wanna see some pictures..........

I was looking at the pictures from last year's ride. Those are some beautiful covered bridges!!
Looks like you had a good turnout for this year's ride, judging by the pics in the linked article. Looks like a good time was had by all.
