Grove City Bikeways

- Free SOL - Holiday Lights, Bike-camping & LOL Options

Experience a Day/Evening/Night/Overnight Community Bikeway Tour - great for short or long day or night solo or group rides, Christmas/Halloween/4th of July lights/decorations sightseeing, and even a bikepacking/camping overnight adventure!

You can go short (SOL), go long (LOL), or go overnight (OT) - three options and the SOL is free. Although two are called loops (where you don't see the same thing twice), the long tour is more akin to squiggles - route building is more an art than a science. They are all fun, nonetheless.
