Road Route Ramble routes- Five routes to choose from! These routes offer the more experienced cyclist a longer and more challenging tour. Road riders take note: these routes are all pavement except for 50 feet of Stanford Hostel driveway! Your ride starts at Cuyahoga Valley Railroad Rockside Station and depending on the route you choose, you will wind your way in, out, around and through the Beautiful Cuyahoga Valley. Snack stops at Akron’s North Station and Stanford Hostel and are spaced 26-30 miles. The 100mi route is broken into loops out of Stanford Hostel, each approx. 25 miles. The 62mi route is rolling/hilly terrain to Akron and back. The two 50 mile routes run in, out and around the Cuyahoga Valley. 50#2 is less hilly than 50#1. Maps provided for each.
Rest and recharge at Stanford House Hostel with a sumptuous lunch. You can then choose to ride additional loops or return the 15 miles to Rockside Station. Don't forget to stop at Carvel at Thornburg Station at Rockside for your last snack stop... Ice Cream!
