LoST going to Chillicothe OH on the Paint Creek Trail

- a Smart-guided Tour

An excellent triple LoST adventure to ride solo, with your favorite peeps, or with a whole group of anybodies. Scenic, well-maintained, mostly-level, and excellent CycleNuts tasted and approved refreshment spots along the way (details included with the tour plan). This is a funtastic (dare I say it in Ohio) all-season cycling tour for all riders.

This tour has a lot going for it with several options. Firstly, if you are looking to get in a metric century ride, then move this one to the top of your shortlist. Here's why - the majority of the route is rail-to-trail and rural. Quite a bit of it runs alongside scenic Paint Creek. Speaking of Paint Creek - this tour is the whole Paint Creek Trail from end to end. It was formerly known as the Adena Recreational Trail and the Tri-County Triangle Trail. New name - same great trail!

MAKE IT A METRIC CENTURY - OR LESS - ON THIS GORGEOUS TRAIL

Rider's choice! 70, 38, or 32 miles on this beautiful countryside rail-to-trail bikeway.

1 starting spot - 3 tour lengths - 2 CycleNuts tested and approved tasty stops!

All three tour routes are included with your ticket. This is a CycleNuts Triple LoST, an acronym for Long or Short Tour - a CycleNuts Tour Group favorite. Because it has three lengths, we call it a Triple LoST.

How LoST Tours work. The 70-mile and 32-mile routes go to and from a CycleNuts-tested and approved tasty turnaround spot and back to the starting spot on segment one of the tour. This segment is 83% bikeway, mostly level, and in the sun about half of the way. Then, the 32-mile segment is done.

At this point, the 70-mile route continues and the 38-mile route begins. This segment also goes to and from a CycleNuts-tested and approved tasty turnaround spot before returning to the starting spot. This part of the tour is 92% bikeway, has some opportunities to use your bike's climbing gears, and is shaded most of the way.

The Paint Creek Recreation Trail is the flagship pathway of a planned trail network in the Ohio counties of Fayette, Ross, and Highland. Nearly 35 miles of paved trails are currently open linking the communities of Washington Court House, Frankfort, and Chillicothe. The vast majority of the trail occupies a former railroad corridor acquired by the local nonprofit trails group in 1994. However, the trail does leave the original corridor where the right-of-way could not be acquired from its current owners. These diversions are generally brief, with the longest being a 2.5-mile on-road segment on the eastern edge of Washington Court House. ~ TrailLink

Along the 38 and 70-mile routes, the bikeway passes through the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. Nearly 2000 years ago, American Indians built dozens of monumental mounds and earthen enclosures in southern Ohio. These earthwork complexes were ceremonial landscapes used for feasts, funerals, rituals, and rites of passage associated with an American Indian religious movement that swept over half the continent for almost 400 years. Come walk among the earthworks and experience the past. ~ National Park Service
