Where We Ride: A Sub 24-Hour Overnight on the Towpath Trail
Ever dreamed of taking a long trip by bike, but don't have the time, or want to ride the Towpath really far? Then try a Sub 24-Hour Overnight, which is a short out-and-back bike trip with one night's stay. We've written about Sub 24-Hour Overnights before, in this article from Ohio Sports & Fitness Magazine. Rich Oettinger from Century Cycles' Peninsula store did just such a trip earlier this year.
Read more about Rich's ride and how you can plan a bike overnight trip of your own:
