We did about 16 miles, which ended up feeling like 20+ miles back home, thanks to the false flat (gradual northbound uphill/south downhill you don't see, but your legs feel) had me feeling that little 18-20mph "sprint" I'd done the first half of the ride

You did great! From what I've been told, in Xenia it basically becomes a sidewalk, and from the looks of the traffic we saw it was probably a good turn-around point. It does continue to Cincinnati, and is a great trail all-around from all of the reports I've heard.

If you like hiking, there are some great places around Yellow Springs as well - Glen Helen Nature Preserve, Clifty Falls, and John Bryan State Park. YS has some great B&Bs and the town is quite accustomed to and welcome hikers and cyclists. Can't tell I like the area, can you? There is reportedly some nice mountain biking in the state park as well...
