[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Thanks Dave! I am looking forward to looking over the links you sent. After talking with some people, I am sure, well, fairly sure anyway, I can find some truly interesting rides from here in Galesburg, especially when I throw in Amtrak for multimodal adventures. The basic outline of a plan

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Dear Andy, Thanks. The Cheviot is a favorite and a keeper. It is perfect for a tour of this type. Yes, someone (PNC?)had trail entrance blocked, so we backtracked and worked our way around the building/block and entered by the bike store. It was smooth sailing from there! At the time,

Jon, We don't have many rails-to-trails here in Colorado, but we have a lot of rails to roads, and they are amazing roads to ride! Phantom Canyon, Borious Pass, 11 Mile Canyon, Marshall Pass, Gold Camp Road, among many others deeper into the hills. Long, gradual, curving climbs, typically

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Bob, It looks like you live pretty close to the Rock Island trail from Toulon to Peoria. If you go a bit further north it looks like you can ride across the entire state from Moline to Chicago starting on the Hennepin and Illinois-Michigan Canal systems. If you look for bike shops near trails

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Love the report and the bike! My fortunate chance that I can ride that trail from my front door. Apologies, locally, for the bad signage and way from Point State Park to the First Avenue and Grant Street beginning of the trail, locally known as the Jail Trail. PNC may have even had the entry

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Erl, Thanks for sharing your trip photos and stories. I grew up in Ohio and just love those old buildings and beautiful scenery. We don't have all those Rails- to- Trails out here. Your Cheviot looks amazing. Jon > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Dear Bob, Thanks for your thoughts. In my opinion, the GAP (Pittsburg to Cumberland) is a nicer trail than the C (Cumberland to D.C.) for the type of tour my friend and I undertook. The towns are spaced a reasonable distance apart (10-20 miles) with indoor lodging options, the trail goes

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Awesome trip, Erl! And, thanks for the report and pics. I've read a lot about tours of the entire Pittsburgh-DC route, so it's good to be reminded that a great time can be had doing sections. Is the Pittsburgh-Cumberland the most scenic portion, or is that the best from a logistics point of

Thanks for the great photos and writeup, Erl. Looks like you had a fantastic trip and stayed in some nice places. Can't wait to hear more details from you! Steve On Sunday, July 23, 2017 at 7:21:13 PM UTC-4, WETH wrote: > > Ride report/ first tour on Cheviot > > After commuting 1500 miles

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Thanks Erl. Indeed, I will definitely have to look into that. I believe I can take Amtrak (with the bike) from Galesburg to Kansas City. That would get me near the western start. Then, if I decided I would/could do the whole thing, I would just need to figure out the logistics from the St.

Roberta and Bob, Thanks for the kind words. Bob, you seem to be 3-4 hours from the start of the Katy trail in St. Charles, MO. http://www.bikekatytrail.com It is on my list of trails I want to ride. It seems similar to the GAP trail in many ways. All the best, Erl -- You received this

[RBW] Re: Ride report / 1st tour on my Cheviot

Thanks for the write-up, the pictures and for doing that! It looked perfect to me, the kind of ride and adventure that calls to me and probably calls out to just about anyone. How could it not? I do not live by good trails like that, at least not that I know of or know to be accessible (car

What a lovely ride; thanks for sharing. It looks doable for those of us (me) not in good shape. Thanks, also, for the links. Roberta On Sunday, July 23, 2017 at 7:21:13 PM UTC-4, WETH wrote: > Ride report/ first tour on Cheviot > > After commuting 1500 miles since October on my 60cm Cheviot,
