Tonight’s ride combines a casual ride on the flat Towpath Trail through downtown Akron with dinner at Cilantro, a delicious Thai restaurant adjacent to Canal Park, the home of the Akron Aeros. We cycle the paved Towpath south behind the stadium and the former B.F. Goodrich complex before heading to Summit Lake. Crossing the boardwalk on the shores of the lake, we soon reach the Wilbeth Road Trailhead. We will turn north and head back to Lock 3 to secure our bikes on our cars. After a short 1 block walk, we will have dinner at Cilantro.
This ride is rated as a level 1 (Cruisers) and is a social ride with an emphasis on fun, as well as learning or improving bicycling skills. It is ideal for all ages and just right for someone new to cycling, families with young children and those interested in slow paced shorter rides. The group travels up to 8 mph on mostly flat trails with possible gentle upgrades. The distance is less than 8 miles with frequent stops. The group waits for all cyclists with no one left behind.
This ride is scheduled on the calendar of the Spin-off Cyclists, http://spinoffcyclists.com. We encourage you to join us on this and other rides. We are a group of cyclists of all ages and abilities who cycle the trails of Northeast Ohio and surrounding areas for fun, health and friendship.
