A note from the administrator:
In 2011 I discovered the world of social bikeway touring with a local Cleveland group called Spokes N' Jokes - still in operation and "Cleveland's oldest running social bike riding group on Meetup" (Check them out if you are in the area). From that experience, years later while living in Columbus, was born the idea of CycleNuts - a multi-state smart-guided bikeway cycling organization. This tour resembles those first 16-mile Spokes N' Jokes rides (albeit a bit longer). And what a lovely tour it is!

Enjoy this 20-mile TAB (There-And-Back) cycling adventure primarily on the magnificent Rocky River Reservation Multi-use Trail set within the Rocky River Valley Metropark - part of Cleveland's Emerald Necklace. The green center-lined bikeway follows the lay of the land, winding alongside the Rocky River through woods and fields with just enough inclines to make good use of your bike's gearing.
The Emerald Necklace borders the greater Cleveland area. Once one descends into the lavish wooded greenery of the valley the city noise racket is replaced with the sounds of rushing river rapids, the chatter of multiple sorts of wildlife inhabitants, and the everchanging joyful sounds and aromas of people playing ball, cooking out, and celebrating the great outdoors. And even, at times, as one travels along the Emerald Necklace bikeway, just the gentle symphony of nature.
This smart-guided route is 97% bikeway and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. You set the pace, starting time, guest list (maybe, just you), and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert smart-guided cycle tour pattern.
20 miles may be a long ride for some. Easily, it can be shortened by just turning around at any point along the tour route. The smart guide will get you back to the starting spot as you remove upcoming stops along the navigation route. For those who want more miles, keep going past the 10-mile turnaround spot to wherever your wheels take you. The smart guide will get you back to the starting spot. There is a CycleNuts tasted and approved refreshment stop at miles 6 and 14 (details with tour LINKS).
