Heart of Ohio Cyclopaths

The Heart of Ohio Cyclopaths is a social cycling community for casual and recreational cyclists. We explore the trails (and occasionally quiet roads) in the Heart of Ohio. Come and experience the small towns and countryside of Knox, Licking, Holmes, and Richland Counties. Sometimes our rides venture to other trails in and beyond Central Ohio.
