Beautiful ride with some of everything. Both routes begin together with Emerald Necklace, Brecksville to Lakewood, urban cycling Lakewood to Euclid via Lake and Detroit, with a loop past the stadium and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
96 mile route continues with bike path on Lake Erie, Chagrin Reservation, Bedford Reservation and back to start.
57 mile route returns from Cleveland via LTV, Independence Road, Canal Road.
Breakfast stop at about 33 miles, Subway stop around 56 miles, optional snack and drink around 90.
It would be a good idea to bring two large water bottles and an energy bar or two.
Your own speed, NO RIDE LEADER, and no other support. Route has not been ridden or driven this year. Be prepared to adjust as necessary.
