In less than two weeks we will be celebrating the first day of fall. So embrace and revel in the remaining divine bits of summer and the arrival of another sure-to-be fantastic autumn.
This is the not-to be-missed bike ride of the season, so gear up and pedal along on the 42nd Annual Irish Hills Bicycle Tour, Sunday, September 21, sponsored by Maumee Valley Adventurers and Toledo Bikes. These cool tours start at Centennial Terrace and include 10, 31, 62 and 100-mile loops into Michigan and back. According to MVA member Pat Squire, the routes have all been carefully explored and designed to bypass unpaved and heavy traffic areas while highlighting gorgeous rural and urban scenery.
The ten-mile loop is especially appropriate for families; it is flat and the short length makes it easy to complete and enjoy. Cyclists who continue on the 31-mile loop will travel as far as Blissfield, MI, enjoying panoramic views of the sparkling River Raisin along the way. Pedaling further, cyclists on the 62- and 100-mile loops will experience the hilly rise and fall of Raisin Center Rd. (This really is awesome fun!) The 100-mile loop also showcases the lovely blue Sand Lake and traverses several miles of the tree-lined Kiwanis Bike Trail (converted railroad tracks) between Adrian and the southern edge of Tecumseh.
SAG (support and gear) service is available on all routes for emergencies and breakdowns. Snack and water stops are also provided. Lunch is included on the 61- and 100-mile loops. ANSI/Snell/CPSC-approved helmets are required.
All tours start at Centennial Terrace, 5773 Centennial Rd., Sylvania.
For route details, fees and to register (deadline is September 16, or onsite same-day registration 7:30am – 10am).

Also, don’t miss the spooky Tombstone Tour and Family Haunted Bike Ride, both on October 25.
