My compliments for no music. I clicked on a bike video and that is exactly what I got. Great job.

That poor cat broke my heart! But thanks for painting a real picture about what these longer trips are like

I rode this in October of 2023 (south to north). For me, the trail told the story of the Midwest economy over the last two hundred years. Canals, farming, industry, the rust belt, tourism and breweries now...😊

Well filmed. Cycled that trail to Zoarville then detoured to Pittsburgh and DC and eventually ended up on the West coast. The trails from Cleveland to Mt Vernon VA, were the best part of the ride.

Looks like it was a fantastic trip! And great job on the video. And I love the song and the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The lyrics are so haunting.

I rode Cincy to Cleveland in May 2023. It was all pretty good but that road section up near Fredericksburg was brutal with hills in 95° heat!

That looks like a great ride. Kind of showcases all the different things to see in Ohio.

Thank You ! Great Video 👍😊

Thank you it was a great video. Looks like a trip I might want to take.

Howdy, thanks very much for your video. I've ridden a bunch of rail trails, putting this one on the list. Rode part of the Alum Creek rail trail somewhere near Columbus years ago when I took a detour off the Northern Tier Route (ACA route). Love rail and canal trails. Happy trails!

I like your sense of humor 😂 and the effort you put into the footage - a lot of different angles and perspectives - good work and nice ride. Have subscribed your channel and I’m looking forward to your next adventure.

Excellent video !!!

We were looking for a ride this summer. I think this might be it. Great video, thank you.

Awesome video!! I found it extremely informative and helpful

Very informative video...great narrative. . Love the orange Niner....I have one myself..

What a ride! It's so much fun to see!

Very well done, thank you for sharing!

That looks like one sweet ride, just subbed.

Great video bud ,,,,some great artworks 😊

That looked like a really nice route to ride .

Steam Ships Rule! The propellers can be partially out of the water when the ship is running without cargo. But they would fill ballast tanks with water to get the ship heavy enough to float a little lower and fully submerge the propeller for maximum possible efficiency.

I enjoyed your video. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.

I really like this video, Paul! Great work on balancing the scenery and narration. As I'm preparing for my trip, riding the opposite way of you, I've come back to watch this video multiple times to get a better sense of what to expect. And I'm definitely parking at the Little Miami Golf Shop, $16 for the week is too good to pass up! Thanks for showing the location as well as mentioning your experience there.

Great to see familiar places again. I'm in Florida but just rode Ohio&Erie Canal Towpath myself to Cuyahoga Valley NP and back to Cleveland. I've never seen that kind of pink lighting in one of those tunnels you went through. I definitely need to go back and do the rest of the trail. Thanks for showing what I missed. 👍

Nice bags! I have a few by Rockgeist as well! Thanks for filming and sharing. Planning on doing the NB route this year. Cheers, Bourbon!

Welcome to Akron

That's good that you were able to stay awake for the whole trip.

West Side Market is open during the construction, they are restoring the outside of the building.

Very nice! I didn't realize that there are bike trails to travel that far. I'm getting into biking and need to find all the available bike routes in Cleveland Ohio.

Will do Brother but I definitely plan on it 👍🏼

Nice video. I plan on riding most of this in the next year or two when I start my ride across the US. I plan on doing the C&O to Pittsburgh in one segment and Pittsburgh to Indianapolis or somewhere near the Illinois state line.

Wow! What a ride. Outstanding scenery, and your shot choices absolutely fabulous! Love the ambient sounds, especially the birds, although I don't mind music if it suits the shot and still aloows abient sounds to come through. Curious about what you shot with. 1 camera or a variety? Picture quality is very good. I have been dreaming of an epic trip, but haven't got to it yet. Videos like this add to my motivation. - Cheers

Nice presentation, nothing crazy, good observations. I like previewing places I've thought of going for this activity. I might suggest that on the Edmund Fitzgerald map, that you make clear for the people that that event happened on Lake Superior, even though you're at a museum on Lake Erie. Not everybody recognizes the shapes of the lakes. Thanks for sharing!

Love the video even more without music. Most beautiful and enjoyable. I would love to do that same tour in the same fashion as you with my son. How did you get to your start location from Cincinnati? Are there shuttles? We used a shuttle for our C&O Towpath/GAP adventure.

Just a note, Massillon is MASS-a-lawn, not muh-sil-yawn. Glad you enjoyed your ride!

25:32, nice cat

I loved your video . I've ridden every part of this trail from Cincinnati to Glenmont and I live in Columbus. I was impressed by how you got pictures of yourself riding, wondered if you have a drone as I have no way to get a view of my own bike rolling with my Samsung Galaxy S10. I was also impressed by how clear you picked up the cat meow when you saw that kitty on the Little Miami Trail. I was laughing as you talked about peace and quiet as you rolled the I-670 connector in my home town approaching Downtown Columbus. They are actually repaving the Leonard Ave part of that{ a little south of what you showed} and cyclists ride on the road. You had more real peace when you sat down on the Prairie Grass Trail just west of London. I'm surprised you did not feature any part of that Peter's Cartridge Factory detour where you have to ride up that nasty hill from South Lebanon then share the road with cars and trucks on Ohio Route 48. You may have avoided the NASTY part of the detour on US22-OH3 as I understand there is a residential road route you can use to beat that one. I didn't and that was a harrowing downhill with road cracks, potholes, essentially no shoulder straight to The Monkey Bar-Foster Ohio. You probably got to ride the new Beechmont Connector in Cincinnati- the Mariemont area which was tough before. I've had friends tell me they got on the US 50 Freeway there due to the poor signage, I only avoided it because I saw a Pedestrians Bicycles Slow Moving Vehicles Prohibited Sign only minutes after being on a properly signed OH BR 1, our Ohio to Erie Trail. Great Video and the part from Cleveland to Holmes County shows me what I can anticipate if I can ever put two wheels on the far north part of our trail . My partial trail rides are long, 210 miles is my longest ride on Strava and I got it the day I rode to Cincy then mostly back. A friend picked me up at Xenia {or it would have been 265} and my Glenmont ride 82.5 one way was a 165 mile day.

Great shots, edit, and useful commentary. Are there any hilly sections or pretty flat? Thanks!

How did you get from Cincinnati to Cleveland? Looks like an awesome ride. Thanks for sharing!

Great ride! I am surprised by the lack of trail users though.

Thanks for the video. I’m in the Akron area and have rode most of this north of Columbus one day at a time. What were you riding? And where are those rings you rode through, please? Looked fun.

Paul---thanks for this video. I have a boyhood friend who lives in Mt. Vernon---so I have put the Ohio-to-Erie trail on my list. When you are able---I'd appreciate it if you send me some info on the bike (Niner) that you were riding--and what you like best about the bike. Thanks, Rich and Denise

We suggest you add The Paul Bunyan Trail and the Masabi Trail (both in Minnesota) to your trail adventures. Planning the TOTE trail next Fall. Do you recommend the North to South direction you did?

is there an app with navigation that will keep you on the trails and know where to go? I'm thinking this spring or summer I want to try to take this trip myself.

May I ask how you got from where you parked your car to your starting point in Cleveland?

Enjoyed the video. Were the bike paths relatively flat? Were they mostly paved or did you hit some areas with packed gravel? Thanks

I'm only a couple hours from Cincy in southern Ohio. Do you know if you can ride ebikes on this trail?

For a non cyclist, how much did that bike help you go all that way? I will ride that trail from Westerville to Galena on an old Huffy and that’s enough for me! Is the Niner better in gearing or something? I am sure you are more fit than I also lol. I could probably make it on my Harley though…

Wait - did you start in Cincy? The video then jumps to you leaving Cleveland?

What app do you use when touring?

Video needed info about the bike. Was it a push bike, ebike, carbon or steel frame.

How do you get back your car?

Based steam ship appreciator

Easy on the setting up the camera and we watch you ride by

Did you pay for a shuttle from cinci to cle?

Did someone drive your car from Cleveland to Cincinnati? Or did someone drive you and your bike from Cincinnati to the start point.

Are you by any chance related to folk singer, Peter MULVEY? I know he's a fairly serious cyclist.

Home run...hit outa the park.

😐 No information on how you transitioned between Cincinnati where you left your vehicle and the start of the trip in Cleveland. That would have been useful information.

Referring to Lake Erie trail??! Not Erie Pa to Cleveland Oh...yeah, pa is not as bike friendly like this trail...
