### LOL in Queen City

#### - Smart-guided Long One-way Loop Bike Tour Cincinnati OH

Community bikeway cycle tours do not get much better than this. Cincinnati neighborhoods, scenic parks, nicely designed bikeways, historical places, and great spots along the way for selfie pictures (it is, after all, a Selfie Tour)

There are many great reasons to visit Queen City, Cincinnati, Ohio. This tour will get your wheels onto the growing cycling infrastructure of this historical, magnificent city on the Ohio River. Never see the same thing twice on a Long One-way Loop (LOL) Selfie Tour - except for the starting spot. If you are feeling adventurous, easily add miles to the route by detouring on any number of nearby points of interest (see the list, below)

The LOL Selfie Tour starts where it ends near a dog park (bring yours, if you wish - the tasty midway stop is dog friendly). Queen City is putting in an extensive effort to create a city-wide bikeway system. The Crown is one such massive effort. Its goal is a 35-mile dedicated bikeway inner city loop with a "100+ mile active transportation network" - to learn more, click here. Their vision resembles this tour route, except for the missing proposed bikeways. Nevertheless, great minds think alike and the tour gives the rider a rough facsimile of Cincinnati's future Crown.

The 39-mile smart-guided route is 65% bikeway and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. More than half of the route is dedicated bikeways and bike lanes that follow the lay of the land, which is hilly. Your bike's gears will see use. E-bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour. The route is shaded about 50% of the way. Sweating is optional. You set the pace, starting time, and touring agenda with Selfie Tours.

===========
The Meetup Group Ride plan = Show up, Rally with whoever else shows up, and Roll following the smart-guided instructions. This is a repeating event on the calendar but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. This Smart-guided tour route can be used any day or time, solo or with others.

It is posted with a repeating set time and date with a tour leader to fit the Meetup format and encourage you to get out and ride. The actual leader of the tour is you or whoever shows up to ride with a smartphone.

*Generating a group ride - If you are going to ride and would like the company of others, RSVP and post in the comments the date and time you are planning for. If you are interested in riding solo or with your private group of friends, then don't RSVP or post your plans

Take pictures/videos and post them here on Meetup, or not. Have fun!

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.

We wish you a funtastic memory-making adventure!
