Magnesium, Keith. Anyone engaging in exercising needs ample amounts of Magnesium for Brain, Nervous system and Muscle functions. I forgot to mention I enjoyed your explanation of this particular rail trail. Good journey to you my friend. 🚴💨💨💨
He called Loveland London 11 times...........LOL! I agree with him that Loveland is a great trail town and living in eastern Cincinnati I ride through that area about once a week. The 13 miles of trail from Loveland to Morrow was the first section of the Little Miami Trail that was opened and that was way back in 1984.
Nice informative video. Thanks! For the record, a you tuber named path less pedaled did a 30 minute interview with the head editor of the Oxford English Dictionary and they discussed origins and pronunciation of the word pannier. It is pronounced pan-yer and is actually English in origin. Just a bit of trivia for ya and yes, I can’t believe I watched the whole dang video about it 😊. Thanks again!
@@KeithOutsidei took the Amtrak to DC and rode to Pittsburgh, but plan to do the reverse this summer. I've done most of the Cleveland to Bolivar route and would consider it very similar to the GAP /C&O trail.
Thanks for the video. I am thinking of doing it next year and am watching any video I can about it. Lots of good information. Congratulations on your trip. Maybe you want to try the GAP and C&O trails next. I live 5 minutes from the C&O and it is very special.
I enjoyed watching your ride. I plan to do this in the Summer and hotel hop. How far out did you plan your hotels? Can you do it on the fly while riding the trail or did you need to book in advance?
Thanks!! I reserved two nights in advance at first. By the end of the trip it was just one night in advance. There are a lot of hotels along the way. I wouldn’t think it’d be too hard to get one.
I plan to bike from Chicago to NYC in June. I was thinking of going Chicago to Michigan by ferry but I’m from Cleveland by birth. Maybe I shouldn’t miss this.
Unfortunately I don’t remember all the hotels. But here is what I do remember. I stayed at 6 hotels. Akron lots of options Millersburg lots of options Mount Vernon stayed at The Grand. Nice Hotel and good location for food. Columbus stayed at a Drury Xenia stayed at a Ramada. Lots of other options. My room had a bit of a moldy smell. Loveland stayed at a Hilton. Hotel was fine but very out of the way on a bicycle. Didn’t see many other options at the time. Hope this helps.
Great video!! I am a runner who is transitioning to cycling; getting ready to purchase my first bike soon, specifically to join my wife!! She is intending to do the OTET this year, so I have been challenged to join (very excited)... I must comment on your hat; do you work for Austin Powder by chance?
The guy that told you about Ziploc bags are your friend he must be a commuter because you don’t want to rely on Ziploc bags when you’re traveling hundreds of miles or thousands of miles for some things that’s OK but not for 95% of her stuff
50+ miles of vehicular road riding? Nope - No thank you. I am plenty fit enough - could do this in 3 days - but until that 50+ miles of road riding is gone, I won't even consider it. (Don't be fooled by the rural roads - just as dangerous if not more - the good old boys hate bikers and basically anyone that is smart enough to excercise).
I’m leaving next Sunday to start the trail. It’s my first solo tour. I’m encouraged by your video that the trail is something I can accomplish.
I’m excited for you! It’s a very doable trail. Have a wonderful ride and let me know how it goes.
How did it go ?
This is a really good video very enjoyable
Thanks. Glad you liked it!

Good journey to you my friend. 🚴💨💨💨
Glad you liked the video. Electrolytes are very important!

Really? That many?!?! 😂😂😂
I might never ride this trail but explanation is amazing…. Thanks 👏💪🚲💪will follow your bike adventures
Thanks!! Glad you liked it!
Lots of good info in this video. WE have two bike tours under our belt. and are considering the Ohio to Erie trail
I highly recommend it! It’s a fantastic trip.
Nice video - at 33:15 min, I think you mean Loveland Ohio with all the shops on the trail, not London.
Yes! I got that confused a lot. 😂Thanks for watching.

Thanks for letting me know! Lots for me to still learn about bike touring. Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Heading out this spring to do this one. I did the GAP/C&O last Summer and had a blast.
Hope you have a fantastic ride! The GAP is on my bucket list.

Yes on zip lock bags. we put a days worth of clothing in a zip lock bag.

Glad you liked it! The GAP is definitely on my list. The Ohio to Erie is a great ride. Hope you enjoy it.
Good video. I'm planning to do Erie Canal trail in the future but that's gonna be probably next year after I'm done with W&O Canal trail.
Sounds like fun
I might have passed you on the Alum Creek trail, that is where I do most of my riding
Beautiful trail. Hope to do more trails in the Columbus area this year.
Thanks Keith. I hope to do this trail soon.. I like the Shirt..
It’s a great trail. You’ll love it.
Great video, very informative. I'm hoping on doing this sometime this year. I'll go watch your series on it.
Thanks! Hope it helps. It’s a fantastic trail.

Sounds like a great adventure
Would you please share the hotels you stayed at?
Unfortunately I don’t remember all the hotels. But here is what I do remember. I stayed at 6 hotels. Akron lots of options
Millersburg lots of options
Mount Vernon stayed at The Grand. Nice Hotel and good location for food.
Columbus stayed at a Drury
Xenia stayed at a Ramada. Lots of other options. My room had a bit of a moldy smell.
Loveland stayed at a Hilton. Hotel was fine but very out of the way on a bicycle. Didn’t see many other options at the time.
Hope this helps.
Loveland not London ?
Yes. Both are towns along the OTET. But Loveland is the one I wanted to talk about. I just couldn’t stop saying London 😂
what kind of saddle did you have on the bike
It’s a Serfas RX. Going to be getting a new one soon. It’s starting to crack.
Great video!! I am a runner who is transitioning to cycling; getting ready to purchase my first bike soon, specifically to join my wife!!

No I don’t. Glad you liked the video. The OTET is an amazing trail. Hope you have a great ride.
Hey Kieth, I am doing the trail in September. Hotels and restaurants, what did you find you needed to budget?
I want to say right around 2,200. That was for 8 days of hotel stays and restaurants. You can certainly do it for less.
Trail app says it's 271 miles. I'm guessing that figure didn't count the 55 road miles ?
Probably. The Ohio to Erie Trail website definitely says it’s 326 miles.
The guy that told you about Ziploc bags are your friend he must be a commuter because you don’t want to rely on Ziploc bags when you’re traveling hundreds of miles or thousands of miles for some things that’s OK but not for 95% of her stuff

😂😂 I was riding a rural road around quitting time and they were definitely flying.
