We like bicycles. We like the out-of-doors. We like the sky, the trees and the road. We like the wind and the hills (maybe not). We like the smell of fresh air and the wind in our faces. We like the quiet sounds of the night. We like the smell of wood smoke. We like the aroma of coffee and breakfast. Come join us for some fun on a bicycle and off. You will be happy you did!

Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at the Gorman Nature Center on Route 42 between Mansfield and Lexington.  They start at 7:00 PM.  The November and December meetings are held at a local restaurant or in someone's home.  We recap the season and deliver holiday greetings to one another.

More About Us - Mid Ohio Bikers are serious about bicycling but we like sociability as well.  We have regular weekly rides built around either a meal or a snack.  We ride at a conversational pace adjusted to fit the riders present.

            We also plan weekend or extended trips throughout the season.  Recent trips have included rides in Pennsylvania, Indiana , Kentucky, New York  Finger Lakes, Georgia and Florida.  Often these trips are centered on traditional camping, although some folks prefer the motel variety.  When we do the real kind we use everything from motor homes to tents and enjoy cooking around the campfire or pot-luck meals or restaurants depending on the collective mood.

            While bikes are always the central theme we also enjoy hikes and exploring museums and shopping and white-water rafting or whatever.   Fun is always our goal.

            We also sponsor an annual riding event in our scenic—and a tad hilly--Southern, Richland County Ohio area.  It is called The Fall-N-Leaf Tour and has been done for the past 31 years in mid October, usually the 2nd Sunday..

            Regular monthly meetings are held at the Gorman-Nature Center just south of Mansfield on US route 42 at 7 p.m., on the third Tuesday of each month.  Holiday meetings are usually celebrations at a local restaurant.  January and February we rest.

            Come join us.  Dues are $15, single, $25 for a family, per year and you will be made to feel really welcome.
