Review: Why aren't more places doing this? This trail freakin rocks. Obviously being on a former rail line the grade is almost completely flat for its entirety. But if you know anything about cycling, flats aren't easy either.

Charles Klahm and myself went to check it out. Keeping a good pace on a flat can be difficult over a long distance because there are no down hill sections to take a break. You have the gas on from the start.

Anyway, this was a great ride on a beautiful fall day with cool air. This trail starts in Midland, Ohio and is eventually going to connect from Cincinnati to Cleveland. This is a great trail to do an out and back century ride. It is about the width of a golf cart path... enough for two to pass each other. And much of it is under a canopy of trees. There are many people using the trail but it is wide enough we didn't have any problems. Runners, walkers and cyclist all use the space efficiently.

Highly recommended. Check it out here: Little Miami Scenic Trail
