Xenia Biking 2026
Details
There are several great bike trails leading out of Xenia Station. Pam Burlingame once again is offering to lead us in these rides.
Details (updated 9/12)
Please sign up even if you are just going to do part of the trip!
All trails are out and back, so you can go as far as you like and head back to your car. These rides are all on trails, not on roads.

Original post
Every ride will be out and back, so you can turn back any time. Maybe this will be the year you do a Century ride! (100 miles). Or maybe you will do 25 miles a day and still have a great time. You do not have to attend for all four days.
More details will follow, but book an AirBnb near Xenia, or plan to camp nearby. I plan to camp at John Bryan State Park; reservations can only be made 6 months in advance. This meetup will be updated at that time to let you know what site I have.
