Pack your lunch for this fun cross town adventure to "one of the premier botanical gardens in the midwest." Inniswood Gardens is "a natural woodland...home to native wildflowers, wildlife and waterways which provides a majestic backdrop to... beautifully landscaped gardens and lawns." source: https://www.inniswood.org/ This tour was a success. The company was excellent. The weather perfect. And the expertly planned route allowed us to escape the crowded bikeways to and from our destination.--- We arrived at Inniswood just as the full capacity barricades were being set. Even still, this beautifully designed park was not overcrowded with visitors. The picnic area even had enough tables for each of us to socially distance ourselves while enjoying our picnic lunches.--- Tour data: Total distance 26.28 miles, Maximum speed 21.4 MPH, Average speed 11.4 MPH, Saddle time 2 hours 17 minutes, Total tour time 4 hours.

This casual-paced (about 11 MPH) tour in Knox County featured beautiful Spring scenery along The Kokosing Gap Trail and The Mohican Valley Trail, which has a separate lane for Amish Horse Carriages with a tasty midway refreshment stop in Howard, OH.

This week wrapped up 8 weekends of Coronavirus lock-down and 8 weekends of fun CycleNuts Solo Tours. For nearly two months CycleNuts pitched in to fight back against the spread of Coronavirus by social distancing solo tours while encouraging cyclists to stay active and engaged in their well-being. Thanks to all who participated!
