And you're right, we have some really nice bike trails here! (So I move to Cleveland, where the trails are crushed limestone. Ms. Princess Road Bike would not like that! )
You DID move away! Pity they have crushed limestone up by Cleveland. I really was impressed at the nice paved trail, how well everything was marked, and even the benches once I got outside/south of Yellow Springs.

My B&B host warned me against taking the trail north to Springfield though - she has heard stories of glass on the trail and things being thrown at people... She didn't know how often this actually happens, but it has happened to one of her guests.

Depending on a few things, next Sunday being the Indianapolis 500 Race - and I happen to live about a mile from the Speedway - I may well return to Yellow Springs for a day-trip and see just how far I can make it on the trail south and return. I don't like being around on race day - not THIS race. The other two I can deal with - the 500 is just nuts around here.
