Introducing the CCC Bicycle Touring Cluster!

Introducing our newest club feature the CCC Bicycle Touring Cluster

Welcome to the CCC Bicycle Touring Cluster! We are a group of cyclists who are passionate about self-contained bicycle touring. We have traveled the countryside on bicycles equipped with racks and panniers, carrying everything we need with us to camp and cook along the way. One of the ride leaders (Bob Kissinger) has logged more than 8000 miles of self-contained touring, including the Natchez Trace, Blue Ridge Parkway, Adirondack State Park and the TransAmerica Bike Trail.

For those who are new to bicycle touring, the CCC Bicycle Touring Cluster plans to annually schedule one overnight trip and one week-long trip in the Spring or Fall so that you can get a taste of what bicycle touring is all about. The ride leaders will share their knowledge of equipment and trip planning during the events. We will pick routes that offer hotels/restaurants in case you do not have the equipment to camp and cook.

We also plan to schedule a monthly ride (unloaded) in the Cincinnati area, followed by an informal presentation on a bike touring topic.

Please visit the CCC Website and sign up for Bicycle Touring ride/trip notifications to hear about our upcoming activities.
