This gravel adventure travels through scenic mid-Ohio countryside, towns, and farms on the fringe of Amish communities. The quiet rural countryside along gravel roads is the main feature of this adventure. It is great for new and seasoned gravel grinders and bikepackers/bike campers. Being short, it fits nicely into weekends. Being mid-Ohio, it is just far enough away from the major metros to get that mini-vacation experience, but not too far away to make it a driving chore.

Speaking of sweating - it's optional. You set the pace, starting time, and agenda. Easily, with the smart guide you can wander away from the planned route to get a better look at points of interest you find along the way. The smart guide will get you back on track when you are ready.
