Hockhocking Adena trail (Hocking River Trail or Athens Run) Considering the crappy riding weather we’ve had this season, Sunday’s weather was pretty nice. Hot sun but cool shade. Indeed some would say it was a "beautiful day" but Lin wasn’t riding so we had to settle for a “lovely day”. And it was. We met at the Nelsonville trailhead and rolled down to Hocking Valley College for the mandatory group shot. The trail down to the Habitat House on the west end of the OU campus is cool, shady and quite scenic. Once past Habitat the trail becomes a levee trail along the OU campus. Here there is no shade and the wind picks up. OU has repaved sections of this formerly rough trail. We turned around at the sewage treatment plant east of campus and headed back west into a noticeable head wind. Past the Prairie section we were out of the breeze and the direct sun. Nice cruse back to Nelsonville but we split into several groups. We really need PTT radios.
