ROAST Your Buns
8:00 Sunday August 1, 2010 30, 52, 70 miles
A freebie ride with map. This early August ride from Oberlin features 30, 52 and 70 mile routes. The 30 mile route will travel into Huron County for a bit then back to Lorain County and go through Wellington where you can get a snack. The 52 route will travel through Fitchville and New London in Huron County. The 70 mile route will travel to the Huron County towns of Fitchville, Savannah, Nova and maybe a couple I’ve forgotten. These communities along the route have places to obtain food. For the most part, the route is fairly flat. Even though there may be towns, it’s a good idea to take a snack bar or two, just in case … and plenty of water!
