Do you have a friend or family member who wants to ride in Pelotonia '10 and is not a member of a Peloton? You can invite them to join ours! It's not too late.

Team O-H-I-O Training ride Sunday, 6/27 @ 8AM

Team O-H-I-O is riding 23 miles in Westerville on Sunday. This is a marked route on the back roads of Westerville starting from the Hoover Dam Park.

Meet at the Hoover Dam Park at 8 and we will roll out at 8:15.

If you want 50, you can join me a second time around the route

Team O-H-I-O Training rides this weekend

There are two training rides that I know members of Team O-H-I-O will be riding this weekend.

The first is the Pelotonia Cycling Fair tomorrow. Karen Longbrake and I are riding the 15 mile route. Click here for more information.

The other training ride is Sunday. We are riding the Prairie Grass Trail from London to Xenia - 60 miles!.This is a straight path, so you can make it shorter if you want just by heading back before Xenia.  Click here to see more information. You'll see that the suggested parking is behind the senior center. Don't worry about the detour off 42 during your drive it will get you back on 42 in time (Thanks for that note Emily!)
