The Youstdudes left home, for their bike ride, about 8:00 AM and returned home about 12:00 PM. Allowing for
approximately one half hour travel time, each way, their actual riding time was about three hours. During these three hours the
Youstdudes proved their bike riding skills and abilities by riding 10.4 miles and never running into the river, even once. Of course,
no land speed records were broken and there were a couple of time-outs for breaks but overall they did a fine job. Their bike ride
actually started in Eastwood Park, a few miles North and East of Dayton, Ohio.
In Eastwood Park we got on the Mad River Bike Trail. This trail is approximately three miles long and follows the Mad River
down to the Riverscape area of Dayton, where the Mad River runs into the Great Miami River. At this point, the Mad River Trail ends
and the River Corridor Trail begins. After stopping and taking a break at Riverscape, we rode on down to an area where the River
Corridor trail is temporarily closed, while one of the bridges that spans the Great Miami River is being torn out and replaced.
From there, we rode on back up to Eastwood Park, taking one little detour to explore a little different route back to the Riverscape area.
This time, when we came back to Riverscape, the play fountains were running. As the pictures show, the Youstdudes just couldn't resist
getting a little bit wet.
