Grove City, OH - 24/7 Community Bikeway Tour with Bikepacking/camp option


Experience a Day/Evening/Night Community Bikeway Tour - great for Christmas/Halloween Lights and even a bikepacking/camping adventure!


Get your lights on - both to see where you are going and to decorate you and your bike (optional) - and hit the Grove City community bikeways for some of the best Christmas/Halloween lights and decorations anywhere around during those holiday seasons!

Or explore this great network of community bikeways open 24 hours a day. If you have not experienced the community bikeways of Grove City then you are in for a real treat. This city knows how to lay out bikeways that work for the community. Its award-winning trails connect communities, parks, workplaces, markets, entertainment districts, shopping centers, and more!

And, even more, grab your bikepacking/camping rig and head for a camping adventure at Scioto Grove Metro Park! This unique option is great for first-time and seasoned bikepackers/campers. You can camp along the Scioto River at one of five primitive backpacking campsites. Camp reservation instructions are included with the ticket purchase.

All of the above three options come with your ticket purchase. Save the routes for holiday time when Grove City residents put on a proper community house decorating effort!

This cycling adventure will take you through several neighborhood communities in Grove City connected via a well-maintained bikeway network. Most of the route is well lit but there are a few segments where you will need good working headlights (if riding at night). There is a scheduled midway stop at a CycleNuts tasted and approved tasty spot - grab a bite, a beverage, or just a rest moment before continuing the tour.

These smart-guided routes (12, 14, and 35-mile options) come with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. The segments that are not bikeways are predominantly low-traffic neighborhood side streets. If you are more comfortable using sidewalks in these areas, then you will find Grove City to be a city that has it all in place - sidewalks on every street. The routes follow the topography of Grove City, which is mostly level. There are a couple of segments where you might use a bit of bike gear, but nothing to work up a sweat over. Speaking of sweating - it's optional. You set your own pace, starting time, and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert smart-guided cycle tour pattern.

Points of interest on the route: Neighborhood Christmas/Halloween lights and decorations (seasonal), Scioto Grove Metro Park, and the beautiful community of Grove City, Ohio.

Easily, with the smart guide, you can wander away from the planned route to get a better look at the decorations you find along the way. When you are ready the smart guide will get you back on the route.

Helmets are not mandatory - cycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.

Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.

Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
