My Intermediate Bike Trip To Florence Y’all
I found this great site for laying out your own bike routes. It’s called Bikely.com, and you can see an example on my blog, MindsSpeak.com.
The greatest challenge I found in laying out this route was getting across the Ohio River on a bicycle. The route we travel by auto can not be traveled by bike or pedestrians. I finally located the Anderson Ferry that crosses the Ohio between Cincinnati and Constance, KY. When I contacted them about a schedule, they replied, “Just show up, we’ll get you across as quickly as possible, in less than 15 minutes”. I thought that was pretty reasonable.
Between now, June 3, and actually making the ride I will be doing a few training rides to build up to this 88-mile trip (176-mile roundtrip). I plan to make this trek by August 1, weather permitting.
