Get your free tour ticket with route links at Cincinnati Whitewater Forest - Show, Rally, & Roll Smart-guided Group Tour.

You will need a smartphone (fully charged battery). It is recommended to have a handlebar mount for your smartphone and a battery backup.

The plan = Show up, Rally with whoever else shows up, and Roll following the RWGPS smart-guided instructions. This is a smart-guided tour route that can be ridden any day or time, solo or with others. It is only posted with a repeating set time and date with a tour leader to fit the Meetup format, and to encourage you to get out and ride when it is convenient for you.

If you are going to ride it and would like the company of others, then simply RSVP and post in the comments when it is that you are going to ride - date and time.

Take pictures/videos and share. Have fun!

This is a repeating event on the calendar*, but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. If you are interested in riding with a group, then RSVP and leave a message in the comment section giving the date and time you would like others to join you. If you are interested in riding by yourself, or with your private group of friends, then simply do it.*

The mission of this format is to create a catalog of free group tour routes available for CycleNuts to ride as a group, or solo, in an area spanning several states. The goal is to get people out cycling either in groups or solo. The vision is a cycling community with resources available for bike tours, bike talk, and a format for lives experienced at the speed of bike.

About CycleNuts Group Tours
In a nutshell - CycleNuts is an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bikeway touring adventures to destinations near and far as we strive for the

  • Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy
  • Mission: to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual cycling to tour together
  • Vision: a united cycling community that tours together on bikeway adventures for the holistic benefit of all

What to expect - Casual social cycle touring where exercise is optional, everybody finishes together, and nobody is dropped, abandoned, or left to fend for themselves (unless they wish to be).
Expect an average pace of 11 mph average with CycleNuts’ 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities are heartily encouraged. Allow ample time for the nature of CycleNuts tours including

  • Trail-side breaks
  • Eating and drinking
  • Picture taking and posing
  • A comfortable 11 MPH pace.
  • Looking at cool stuff along the way
  • And other sorts of tourist activities – as well as unforeseen detours, breakdowns, and delays of various sorts.

Helmets are not mandatory - BareHeaded Bikers are welcome. CycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and overnight accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. No emergency road support, so be prepared with options.

Recommended Gear - A bike (bi, tri, tandem, E, recumbent, or cycle/trailer rig ). Protective gear of your choice. ID. Front and rear lighting. Communication device. Spare tube. Patch kit. Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sunscreen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, battery condition, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions​.
