41st Annual Tour of the Hocking River Valley
The 41st annual Tour of the Hocking River Valley (ToH) will be Memorial Day weekend, May 27 and 28, 2012!
ToH is a two day bicycle tour which takes you on scenic, rolling, lightly traveled roads along the Hocking and Ohio Rivers. You will camp overnight Sunday after eating a delicious dinner, and return to Athens on Monday.
The ride will start in the Walmart parking lot on East State Street in Athens, Ohio, where you may leave your vehicle overnight. Meet near the soccer fields near the Aaron’s store. Departure time Sunday morning will be 9:00 AM.
The $35 registration fee includes a catered dinner Sunday night (vegetarian choices available) and breakfast on Monday. The fee also includes camping at Forked Run State Park, sag support, maps, etc. Children under 6 are free, children 6 to 12 and seniors 70 or older are $16.
You should bring a tent, sleeping bag, clothes for riding and for camp. Also bring plates, cups, and eating utensils. A helmet is required for this ride. Ensure that your bike is in safe working order, and carry a spare tube and basic tools with you on the bike. You should carry full water bottles, enough food for a ride of this length, cash, and identification.
The sag vehicle will carry tents, food, and other equipment to and from the park. There will be limited space in the vehicle, so plan to be your own mechanic and remember to bring food with you on your bike to eat during the ride. Please no private support vehicles on the route.
The registration form contains all the information you should need and online maps will be posted closer to ride weekend. The registration deadline is May 16, 2012.
