Wow.....beautiful music. I can't keep a dry eye and find myself playing this over and over... I needed this.... Your choice of music says a lot about you, Thomas. Thanks for sharing yourself and all your journeys with us. Ride on, please, ride on.
Nice to see the sights around DC. It has been a few decades since we have been there. Looks like they have some nice trails to access the area. Nice layover! Have a great day.
Hope you get to visit it again, there's lot to see. All the museums are free to visit and a lot more. I like to ride the trails when waiting for my next train up north. Thanks for following along. 👍
Thank you for following along, it's been a great adventure. Working on the last Day 6 video and hopefully I can publish it tomorrow. Yes, I have the train tickets for my next tour. In a couple of weeks I'm heading to Philly to ride the D&L trail, so that's gonna be my next adventure, looking forward to it.
It seems like a person gets to experience some quiet, peaceful moments of beauty, and to reflect on experiences, and on life itself, while sitting on a train. I've not taken Amtrak yet, but might do so on a good route, when I don't want to drive so long. Nice video short! 🕊️
It's always interesting to see where you go. How do you choose your bike routes? We've always been impressed by how many miles you go but now you've got some competition! Around the world? Wow! Nice that you can camp for free along the way. Also good that you had some cover. Love seeing the small towns.
I'm always looking for trails to ride but the Ohio to Erie Trail was on my list for a long time. Yes I got the competition, it's hard to beat this one 😆 Town of London is proud to offer a free camping for trail riders. I got to talk to some locals there too, nice people all around.
London trailhead had everything, power, campsite and even a shower. Locals told me that they're very proud to provide this service for riders for free.
So, you finished Cleveland to Cincinnati, yes? I need to watch day 6! I’m from Baltimore. Been in Columbus, Ohio for 34 years. A friend and I are riding Millersburg to Mount Vernon next weekend. Next summer, we’re doing doing Cleveland to Columbus. Best regards Thomas!
I finished the trail but am still working on video Day 6, uploading it in the next couple of days. I got a little ahead of this short video. I'm glad that you decided to ride it. It's a great trail, a lot of different landscapes and views, you gonna love the Cleveland to Columbus ride!
That's what I like about this trail, there is a lot of variety. OTET is not one continuous trail but rather connection of many trails with some back roads in the Amish area.
Thanks for documenting all this Thomas! Really enjoying your perspective. I live in Columbus so I ride out and back to London quite frequently. I did all of the trail last year going the other direction starting in Cincy to Cleveland as part of an organized ride (Ohio Erie Trail Adventure - OETA). Enjoy your ride and stay safe!
It's a great trail and I enjoyed it very much. How many days was the organized ride and did you all stay inside or camp? Thanks for following along my ride 😊
@@FollowThomas They do it over six days which is pretty recreational. Some days are pretty short but makes it doable for more people I guess. They go Cincy > Xenia > Columbus > Mt Vernon > Millersburg > Massillon > Akron> Cleveland. Its fully supported with hotel stays each night.
It wasn't too bad but the pedestrian bridge was under construction, that made the mess. I had to rely on Google Maps to navigate through the city but overall it wasn't too bad.
Hello Thomas, I watched your video just before going to bed. What a great way to end the day. Hoping I dream about riding my bike through Ohio. 😊 Thanks for sharing the video.
That is awesome, you found someone going around the world! 60 degrees is a good temp to ride! It is nice you had the cover area when it rained. What a nice area! All farm towns!
Ohio is the agricultural state, they feed America. Mornings were 60s but it headed up later in the day. This guy was interesting, I never met anybody who's intending to ride around the world camping along the way.
They had the miniature Cincinnati there with trains and trolley buses moving along the street. If you all ever go there check it out Mike's gonna love it!
Thomas I'm enjoying following your journey. I live in the Rochester area so I'm familiar with that part of the trail a few miles East and West of the city. I used to run there but now that I'm in my 60's, it has to be biking. When I retire next year, I think I'd like to cycle the entire trail too. That said, what do you do with your bike when you go for breakfast, coffee and camp at night? I suppose you find something to lock it to but do you feel it's secure when it's our of sight? It looks like an expensive bike so I'm sure you keep an eye on it as much as possible. Happy Travels!
Thank you so much for following my adventures. When I go to the store or eat I lock up the bike but still try to keep an eye while inside. I always take my bike into the hotel room or put it right next to the tent when camping. Hope you get to ride the whole trail. It's one of my favorites. Thanks again and take care! 😊
Thomas, thanks very much for these videos! Do you have the routes in Ride with GPS? Any way to share them? I live in Columbus and would very much like to make the ride from Cleveland to Cincinnati. Thanks!
Hi Thomas Wow congratulations to you on surpassing 4KKKKKKKKKKKK Where is a bottle of champagne ?? hahah Oh Day 3. Hmmm Bridge of Dreams seem to have some reputation for its name, Don't you think? I love covered bridge. This one is quite long 8:25 Was it hard to find someplace to grab and eat in the countryside? haha Subway..lucky... Paved road!...I liked the trees make shelter from the heat for you. Wow Yes the arched tunnel is awesome to see wow, another bridge? 12:36 12:51 It was very pleasant ride to your destination. No bird watching? haha You have been blessed with the weather...See you next episode Hah join me IFLY in FL?
Thank you for sticking around 😁 There are places to eat if you are going off the trail but not many stores or gas stations where you can grab a quick snack or meal without leaving the trail. I love those old covered bridges, they look cool and not many are left anymore and Bridge of Dreams really deserves its name. I'm always keeping the bird list open and marking down the birds I see or hear but can't stop for them or other way I'm not making it to my destination, haha. Thanks again for watching and all the best to your adventures and travels!
It's not big but it's big for Northeast Florida. I couldn't even imagine that we HAVE any waterfalls here in the Jacksonville area. By the way on the thumbnail image is the secondary waterfall not the bigger one.
What does Amtrak charge you to check your bike? This looks like a fun adventure! That is awesome, you are doing a county checklist. We want to do that with Florida because we have visited a bunch of counties here. Beautiful area! I like all the wooden bridges. Great video!
Amtrak charging $20 per segment. One segment can be the next station or as far as that specific train goes. Getting my bike to Cleveland was two segments and coming back from Cincinnati was another 2 segments but Amtrak is a great way to take the bike along.
