DH and I journeyed north to Eaton, Ohio to participate in the Buckeye Bridges Ride. I would highly recommend this event to everyone as it was super! This ride centers around the covered bridges of Preble County. It was hard to imagine that one county could have so much rich architectural history packed within it borders. We opted to ride the 75 mile route which took in all seven covered bridges. It was very evident that the community loves these bridges as they were well maintained and they were not covered in graffiti. The terrain was flat to rolling and avoided most of the high traffic roads in the county. What vehicles we did encountered were all respectful and patient with us as we took in the beautiful countryside. The SAGs were well stocked and those who hosted it were extremely friendly. The routes were well marked, both on the roads and signs at every turn!

Here are a few photos of our day. Again, mark your calendars for next year - it was a great day!

Makbike--I'm going to have to remember that ride if I'm still in Ohio this time next year.

Oakleaf--The hill that scared me off my bike as a kid is significantly steeper. I made it up still in my big chain ring...granted, at about 9 miles an hour, but still. The bigger hill here, same thing. This one...no.
And good call on the zip ties.

Nice pictures, all!
