Covered Bridges Tandem Ride |
Ohio |
Plans are underway for the tenth Tandem Weekend in Ashtabula County on September 12 and 13. This is the most northeastern county in Ohio. The area is primarily rural and very scenic. There are 17 covered bridges and a number of small wineries. The ride will visit 11 to 15 of the bridges (www.coveredbridgefestival.org/bridges.htm).
There are numerous opportunities for great photographs. Several of the bridges and a tavern (www.yeoldtavern.com) are on the National Registry of Scenic Places. Terrain is flat to rolling with no long, severe climbs. Rides will be centered out of Austinburg at exit 223 on Interstate 90. Detailed maps and cue sheets will be available.
