Peace Ride!

A bicycle ride up the towpath is always a nice time. Lovely wooded scenery draped right along the canal and Cuyahoga River.

Why not ride for Peace?

On Sunday Oct 6th, we are holding the 2nd Annual Peace Ride as a part of Akron Peace Week.

The ride starts at 9am. All participants should meet at the Cascade Lock/ Mustill Store parking lot off of Howard and North St. We will be riding the towpath to Independence, where we will pause for lunch and a short meditation, and then catching a ride back to Akron via the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. We hope to be back in Akron by around 2pm.

This ride is rain or shine. Last year it was cold and wet, but a lot of fun!

Also, any level of rider is welcomed. You don't need to make it all 25 miles. There are several places the train picks people up along the way, or you can turn around at any point. I don't want the distance to turn you away. You know your limits and body better than anyone - ride as far as you'd like. We don't want anyone to hurt themselves.

We are encouraging participants to create their own flag to fly from their bicycle. Be creative - and peaceful.

Please pack a lunch, as the food options on the train and options around the Independence station are very limited. There is water available at various places along the towpath.

There is no cost to ride, though we do always appreciate love donations.
