The Ohio to Erie Trail Ride is more than just an adventure through Ohio’s scenic landscapes—it’s a ride with a purpose. This November, cyclists will gather in Sunbury, Ohio, to embark on a meaningful journey along the Ohio to Erie Trail, traveling all the way to Apple Creek, Ohio. With proceeds benefiting diabetes awareness and research, this ride offers both a thrilling outdoor experience and an opportunity to support a vital cause.
The Route: Sunbury to Apple Creek
This section of the Ohio to Erie Trail offers a variety of scenic delights, blending rural landscapes, small-town charm, and sections of vibrant woodlands. Riders will start in **Sunbury**, a charming town known for its historic village square, and pedal through a series of picturesque communities before reaching the final stop in **Apple Creek**, a peaceful town nestled in Wayne County.
The route takes advantage of the Ohio to Erie Trail, a 326-mile network of paved and unpaved paths that connects Cincinnati to Cleveland. Although the full trail spans the state, this ride focuses on a carefully chosen stretch that showcases some of Ohio’s best scenery and cycling paths. Along the way, riders will traverse historic rail trails, cross tranquil rivers, and glide through the vibrant autumn foliage that November brings.
The Cause: Supporting type 1 and type 2 Diabetes
The ride will raise funds to support diabetes research and awareness initiatives. With millions of Americans living with diabetes, the funds will help raise awareness, promote healthy living, and support ongoing medical research aimed at better treatments—and ultimately, a cure.
