NOTE: This ride is a "vetting" ride posted to check the route/timing of Trilogy I, and to accommodate folks unable to participate in Trilogy I due to a conflict with the Dayton ride a week later.  I will be doing the ride regardless any rain being forecasted (or not) - come join me.

The SWCC Towpath Trail Trilogy is a 2*, picturesque, and educational ride contrived such that:
Anyone completing the Trilogy will have biked every last yard of the Towpath Trail from Lake Erie to Akron.

Each part of the trilogy has ample stops to read placards, see the vistas, enjoy things you might not know.

Part 1:  the “northern” section
    A round trip from EdgeWater Park to Harvard Ave Trailhead
    with lunch at the 1/2 way turnaround (Cleats). This is the hilliest of the Trilogy.
    We will stop at the top of each hill to accommodate walkers and catch our breath.
