This is a “Credit Card Self Contained” ride. You will find your own way to Cincinnati with someone to take you and drop you off. There will be no sag support (unless someone volunteers). Hotels are recommended and people make their own reservations, giving you the option of choosing a different venue for the night.

There will be 5 days of riding with an average of 70 miles per day. Our route takes us through Xenia while the Club ride is there. Folks may wish to join us from there and skip Cincy to Xenia.

Between now and June1 the stops may change. I need to review the schedule and check lodging more closely.

I have made hotel reservations and I am looking for anyone to share the hotel rooms (each room has 2 beds).  The cost of the hotel for the 5 nights is approximately $550 which would be split.  My wife is driving us down to Cincinnati and picking me up in Cleveland, so I can also provide transportation to the start and from the end of the ride back to Lorain County if needed.

While this trip is large miles, I plan on taking my time.  The mileage is about 70 miles per day with the exception of the last day which is 40 miles.  We will be staying in hotels which makes it much easier then tent camping and makes for a better night sleep.

Attached is the Ride With GPS route that has hotels that I have booked.  Please be aware that these are not the same hotels that were in the original posting as some of them were much more expensive.  I believe that all the hotels that I have booked are within a couple miles of where the other riders are staying.

If anyone is interested in joining the group or if you have questions, please feel free to e-mail me or give me a call (phone number listed below).
