Great Miami River Trail, Taylorsville Dam to Troy, Ohio. ~27 miles.
What a beautiful day! Warm sun with cool, crisp fall air. It’s Autumn in Ohio. Dessert time! Time for tights and light wool layers.
We rode north from Taylorsville Dam, through the heavily forested reserve, along a power-line trail and on to Tipp City. There we stopped
at the local park to take the traditional group picture and ran into an old friend and ‘bent rider, Steve Katterhenry.
From Tipp City to Troy, the trail follows the old Miami-Erie Canal with the Great Miami River on one side and the remains of the canal bed
on the other. An old canal boat and lock in Tipp City and another lock and foundation of a lock keeper's house a few miles north turn this
ride into an Ohio history lesson.
A rail line parallels much of the trail and is visible in a few places. One train passed us that day but sadly was not at one of those places.
One mechanical. I broke spoke on the way back and finished the last 6 miles on a warped wheel with a brake dragging. (Shout out to Frank)
We closed the day with chow at a Texas Steakhouse in Huber Heights. The food was good. We’ll be back.
In retrospective, this trail is far better shaded than I remember, and more interesting at that. The drive isn’t far (65-70 minutes), roughly the
same as Xenia or Nelsonville. We should put this ride on our ‘A’ list.
