This is a marked route ride of 42 miles that follows mostly flat country roads. We stop for breakfast half-way in Blanchester although some “express” faster paced riders will ride through. On most weekends in the main riding season we will offer ride leaders who follow a shorter route at a more casual pace, the availability of these leaders is announced on a weekly basis on the Ride Line. The SBR goes year round and if you have ever considered winter riding this would be a great group to get started with. Riders usually break into groups of 14/15 mph, 16-17 mph, and an 18+ mph average group. During May-August there is also a beginner group led by Bruce Fields or Kevin Armstrong that will go at a 10-12 mph average and a 28 mile route that starts at the Goshen Kroger.
