I have no idea what that means, but they really do have a fantastic collection of bike-friendly trails that meet in their downtown area. If you like e-bikes there are some brilliant collapsable electric bikes at <a href=\"https:\/\/wisperbikes.com\">wisperbikes.com<\/a>. On this particular Saturday, we started there, and headed towards Springfield &#8212; one of the four directions from Xenia Station. It was a perfect day for a ride &#8212; gorgeous weather, shady trees, mostly-friendly passers-by, and film-worthy scenes involving boston terriers chasing kids on bikes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mostly, though, there was an old bridge that we hit five miles in&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chiplynch.com\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=95571&amp;g2_serialNumber=2\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">See how pretty that is? Right. 12 miles or so past that, turn around, come back, get to the car and do a loop around the parking lot to hit an even 35 miles. On mountain bikes and in bad shape, that&#8217;s the longest workout I&#8217;ve had since the half-marathon. Got home, relaxed, felt lots of pain and then realized I had no idea where my camera was. Right. The little Canon SD1100 that I got to replace the little Canon SD1000 that I got to replace the little Canon SD800 that I got a really long time ago. It&#8217;s always on my hip, except when I don&#8217;t wear a belt, and I strap it to my bike&#8217;s handlebars. Nope, not there either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, see, I HAVE a picture of the bride up there a paragraph or so. So you&#8217;d think that means I found my camera, right? No. After driving back out to look for it, I came BACK to my house to pick up my bike and did the 5 miles BACK to the bridge (the last place I knew I had it &#8212; at least I took pictures coming and going so I knew it wasn&#8217;t farther along the path). No dice. At this point I&#8217;ve done over 45 miles on the bike and I&#8217;m in absolutely no shape for that. No camera. If anyone finds it, send it my way. The last few pics should look something like the one above, which I took with my camera just a couple of hours ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nighty-night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8212;Chip<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been getting a lot more bicycling in lately &#8212; Xenia, just up the road from Dayton, claims to be the bicycle capital of the world.
