No help here - I haven't ridden in/around Columbus since '85 save for TOSRV, and I'm east of Columbus, not west - but PM me when you'll be around if you'd like to get together!

That's very sweet of you, but I'll be on the other side of the state and my itinerary that week is pretty full. Thanks for the offer!
FWIW, getting across the river should be easy - there are lots of commuter cyclists downtown. I'd worry more about getting across 270. When I lived in Columbus in the mid-80s those were lightly traveled crossings, gateways to rural roads; now, the whole area west of 270 is packed suburban sprawl and the overpasses and on/off ramps have a lot of traffic.
COP has regular rides out of Grove City, Dublin and Hilliard, and any of the ride leaders would probably be happy to help you with routing. Here's a link to their ride schedule - if you click on the ride, the ride leaders' contact information will be there.
MORPC seem to have their stuff together, though I haven't actually used any of their maps. I'd be a little leery of mapmyride - I know there are routes mapped closer to where I live that I wouldn't feel very safe on (and there are plenty of safer alternatives).

Awesome, thanks!
