Glen Helen looked gorgeous! Next time we visit we'll have our hiking boots and stay longer.

Oak, we drive thru southern Ohio on the way to Barry's parents, and even from I-77, it looks gorgeous. I have ridden in the Finger Lakes area of NY, Vermont, and other areas with huge hills, but they are not my favorite. Gorgeous but very tough. Fortunately, my Bike Friday has mountain gearing but I'm not sure my hip is up to it, at least for more than one day. Heck, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough, NC, my usual riding grounds, had more than enough hills for me. Note their names both include the word "hill".
