Sunday, May 17, 2016 - Heart Of Ohio Trail (HOOT) - Mt. Vernon to Centerburg. 26 miles rt. After a wet, windy and down-right cold start to spring, we were treated to an absolutely gorgeous day for our first Sunday GWNN ride of Spring. Scott and Lin couldn’t join us but Lin called to make it official - “It’s a beautiful day”. We trail headed at Ariel-Foundation Park in Mt. Vernon. Under a cloudless sky and with the day rapidly warming to 80, we rolled west toward Centerburg. The foliage was still thin so the view of the countryside was excellent. At Centerburg, we stopped at Memorial park to grab a bite before heading back. The return leg was mostly downhill and made for an easy return. Post ride chow at Jakes - Beer and fried mushrooms.
