Dayton Cycling Club Covered Bridge Tour

Dayton Cycling Club Covered Bridge Tour Revisited Brookville, Ohio (near Dayton) UPDATE: Due to extreme heat forecast, ONLY 70 mile route will be offered. IF you have any history of heat-related illness or are unsure about riding in this heat, we recommend you DO NOT RIDE. We hope to list this ride again in the fall.

The original June 1 date was canceled because of the Tornados. Return to a time when bicycles were new, cars were few, and these covered bridges were in their youth. The youngest covered bridges on this ride are over 100 years old ! (Thankfully we have paved roads now.) For over 30 years this bicycle tour has been celebrating their heyday. START: clip in promptly at 8:00 am, Robs Restaurant in Brookville. This is a self guided route. Maps will be available at the start. ROUTES: 70 miles (7 covered bridges), NO 100 mile due to heat. Rolling to hilly terrain. Route direction arrows are marked (painted on roads) at intersections. FACILITIES: NO FOOD OR DRINKS ARE PROVIDED. Be ready to potentially ride on your own—NOT a no-drop ride. All routes pass through small towns where water, restrooms, snackfoods, etc. are available at "quickmarts" and restaurants. BRING MONEY OR YOUR OWN FOOD. NO "SAG" SERVICE WILL BE PROVIDED- BRING A CELL PHONE, A PUMP, PATCH KIT AND TOOLS AND KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. Be prepared for the weather. It will be hot.All riders must sign a DCC ride release form at ride. Covered bridges should be crossed with care. Walk through the bridges if you want to be safer. Wear a helmet.
