OTET-bucket list-Ohio to Erie Trail- cool kids from meetup summer Fun Bike Ride!

Details

I did the Ohio to Erie trail (OTET in 2021, which is really 22 trails that take you across the state. I did it just to get another 300 plus miles for the year but I found the Ohio network to be amazing. This will be my 5th time doing it!

So let’s bike the Ohio to Erie Trail. If not on your bucket list yet, it will be! A virtually undiscovered gem.

We saw this trip priced at over $3,000 by more than one tour provider and said hey let's see if we can do more affordably for 12 to 25 meetup cool kids"! $1,950 double occupancy. Single occupancy add $995. Non rider $1,100.

This scenic 326-mile trail links the Ohio River to Lake Erie, primarily on rail trails and canal paths. It traverses four major cities, numerous quaint small towns and miles of pastoral countryside. Do it before more and more people learn of it and add it to their bucket list! This trail can be done on a road bike as it is paved until the 20th of the 20 trails. The last section is finely packed limestone. For that section 28mm tires are ok, but it’s better to have 30mm+.

Join the 326-mile club by riding the whole trail with FunBikeTrips. Why endure the wear and tear on yourself and your bike with gravel or dirt trails when you can enjoy this scenic well-groomed, well-planned trek?

IS THERE A GROUP START TIME TO BEGIN EACH DAY? DO I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH ANYONE?
Have a fun ride at your own pace and leave the hotel whenever you wish. Hopefully this is a vacation! There is no mass start. Most riders leave between 7-9am. Relax and take your time, since SAG vehicles stay out until the last rider finishes. Rider's average speed on our tours range from 9-20mph, so there's always someone to ride with if you wish. We encourage riders to take their time, stop at see the sights, and take in a bakery or 3. We have several local Ohio Meetup friends who will ride sections with us.

Note if you do not need a hotel in afterwards in Cleveland we can reduce $135 assuming your roommate (if any) does not need a room.

Also if you like instead of the night in Cleveland join us at Lake Erie Presque Isle the night of July 11th, and bike and kayak Presque Isle with us the 12th. If you substitute for Cleveland night hotel we will pay hotel, kayak and up to $20 in ice cream treats! https://4142298.xyz/funbiketrips/events/302369670/
