The 15th Annual Tri-County Trail Bicycle Adventure Tour
Was A BIG SUCCESS!
144 riders and $1800 raised for trail projects!
Much has been accomplished since the founding of Tri-County Triangle Trail organization in the early 1990’s. Through dedication, determination and cooperation with local governments, agencies and supporters over 20 miles have been paved. But there is much more to do!
In order to complete the trail from Washington Court House to Chillicothe a 6 mile section from Fairview Road to Austin (map)must be paved and a 2.5 mile route from Old Chillicothe Road in Washington Court House east to the Robinson road trail head (map) must be developed. Finally a 13.4 mile section from Washington Court House west to the Greene County line (map) must be developed (right-of-way has been acquired) to connect to the nationally recognized Greene county trail system.
Upon completion of these three sections the region will have access to the extensive Miami Valley trail network with connections to Xenia, Yellow Springs, London, Springfield, Loveland, Dayton, Cincinnati and beyond! This map shows the overall status of trail development in Southwest Ohio and why completing the final sections in Ross and Fayette counties is so important!
Your support by becoming a member, contacting elected officials and spreading the word is vital!
Thanks to the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission for this important safety information:

Trail Maintenance Day A Big Success
Saturday, November 7
Thanks to everyone who turned out for this event. Some of what was accomplished included:
Brush and limbs were trimmed back from trail edges - walnuts, leaves, debris and gravel removed from trail surface - tree limbs that were a danger to riders were removed, litter removed, vegetative debris was cleaned from mow zone and a stop sign that had been knocked over at Austin was re-installed and much more in just a few hours.
Left: Chillicothe Mayor Joseph Selzer and Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jolene Molitoris cut the ribbon to officially open the bridge over High street in Chillicothe as riders wait to ride and walk across the bridge.
Seven years of planning and hard work by local officials and groups individuals led by the City of Chillicothe made this possible.
Users of the trail now have a safe way to cross busy SR 104 and Adena Trail and the City of Chillicothe trail system are now connected
