Details:

Looking for a long leisurely ride? Join Ed as he takes a shot at his long awaited first century.  We’ll be riding the Little Miami Trail from Loveland to Yellow Springs. The full ride is 104 miles, but you can make it any distance you choose.  As Tim has put it in his pre-October posts, the Little Miami Trail offers nice scenery with plenty of rest stops in the towns that run along the converted railroad line. It's about 120 miles to Loveland, OH from Lexington. Plan on a 2-hour drive.

 

The best driving route is:

 

I-75N and then I-71N after crossing the Cincinnati bridge. Take I-275 East for a few miles then the Loveland exit 52 make a left on Loveland Madeira road following the signs to downtown Loveland. Make a right on West Loveland Avenue and after a mile the trail entrance and parking will be on your left next to Paxton's grill. For those who use Google maps, or other driving aid the Paxton Grill address is 126 West Loveland avenue. We'll meet in the parking lot close to the restroom facilities. There is parking all along the trail and on the other side of Paxtons Grill, so parking should not be a problem. Ed has a blue Toyota Highlander.
