Day 36

Rossford to Oberlin

Thursday, September 17, 2026

Today is the last “flat” day of riding on this trip! The majority of our ride is on the North Coast Inland Trail bike path, which was built on the abandoned Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland Railroad. The railroad was constructed in 1851 serving as a vital link between Chicago and Cleveland and leading to the founding of many of the small towns you will pass through on today's ride. We will end our ride in the college town of Oberlin, where we’ll enjoy a night at The Hotel at Oberlin, a modern building, yet traditionally designed LEED Platinum hotel, making it one of the most environmentally sustainable hotel projects in the U.S. Dinner will be served at 1833, the hotel’s restaurant, with its socially conscious menus using ingredients from local farmers. After dinner, it’s a short walk to the local ice cream shop. We recommend enjoying your second dessert (you’ve earned it) as you stroll through the historic Tappan Square.
