While many cycle touring books undertake the monumental challenge riding across America by bicycle, A Path through Ohio takes on a less lofty goal of exploring the state of Ohio by bike. Mark who rode across the country in 1983 pours the wisdom of a 35 year veteran cyclist into his exciting and yet less intimidating ride from shore to shore of the Ohio To Erie Trail, a newly formed bicycle trail named after the Great Lake Erie to the north and the Ohio River to its south which bounds this diverse state. This book offers the reader a blend of Ohio?s rich history, the land as seen from the saddle of a bike, and the people making up this diverse state. During a five-day journey Mark interjects a light and humorous set cycling guidelines titled ?Looney?s Road Rules? which provides the details necessary for any intermediate or long distance ride.
