Hello!! The big gap in posts was due to lack of time to post, not lack of time to bike. Although I wish I could have biked twice as much, I have added 1180 (in 2012), 1294 (in 2013), 493 miles (in 2014) to my odometer, and 248 so far this year. I'll try to find time to fill you in on past rides but for now I'll report on my latest trail, Slippery Elm, which is found in western Ohio.My cousin, her husband and I rode the 13 miles from North Baltimore to Bowling Green on 6/18/15. After a nice lunch in this sweet little college town we rode back to our cars at the North Baltimore trail head. Luck was with us as we totally dodged an early morning and late afternoon drenching. The trail is paved and very flat, passing through agricultural land. There were a few wild cherry trees that provided occasional shade. They also were dropping carpets of cherries that threw up a red muck on the undersides of our bikes. The path was well engineered. There was no standing water despite more rainy than sunny days for the past six weeks. The path is starting to show its age (20 years old). The cracks have been repaired and are of no consequence to bicycles but I'll bet the ride is a bit bumpy for inline skates, skate boards, razors, etc. Here are a couple of links to more information if you are interested: ohiobikeways.net/slippery.htm and WoodCountyParkDistrict.org
