MY FORD F-150 extended cab pick-up truck is filled to the brim with five adult bicyclists and their bikes. Reminds me of the old college antic where a platoon of people squeeze their way into and out of a Volkswagen.
NEW TOUR BEGINS--
In early July five of us launched our group riding season with a revisit to the Holmes County combined trail which runs from Fredericksburg in Wayne County through Millersburg to Killbuck; a round trip of some 33 miles.
It is called “combined” because it is designed to accommodate both bicycles and Amish horse-drawn vehicles—hence the appliance shown in the small photo right. Click on the picture to enlarge it and you will see the plaque reads “Nelson Horse Waterer”. Yup, an equine drinking fountain located near the trailhead in Millersburg. The legs in the background belong to George.
We revisited Holmes County’s trail for our first ride this season because that is where our little group launched its first season of very enjoyable, weekly rides last summer.
Please stay tuned as we roll around Ohio this summer; likely visiting the Lake Erie shoreline of the Marblehead peninsula next. Who knows what will follow that!

OUR HARDY GROUP of riders includes George Kmet, left, brother Ted Kmet, Lynn Rush, yours truly and Gary Courtright—all from the Richland County area except Ted who visits over the summer from Gainesville, FL. George’s career included being an Ohio National Guard fighter pilot. Brother Ted is retired from Federal law enforcement, Lynn is a retired nurse and Gary did 30 years driving trains from Willard to Chicago—a lively assembly, indeed.
