Riding on the trail

Interesting ride on the Little Miami Scenic Trail today.  Weather was beautiful early on cool but damp under the tree canopy.  Lots of wildlife across the trail today, even more interesting was the accident on a piece of the trail that was covered in mud.  Couple on a tandem cut off another individual just as he got to the slick spot.  Of course he ate it, the couple and I stopped to help.  Poor guy was covered in mud and had some really good road rash on his arms, not to mention being covered head to toe in mud.  Life on the trail continues....

Biking on the road

Found this article out of Canada that highlights the issues of riding on the road.  Granted some of these incidents may be the cyclist's fault, overall it shows that we need to educate both cyclists and drivers on the rules of the road.

Little Miami Scenic Trail

Went riding on the Little Miami Scenic trail last Saturday after the big storms on that side of Cincinnati.  Just north of where the trail splits of for the Lebanon spur ran into this washout from the overpass over the trail.
