I Scream - You Scream - We all Scream - For Ice Cream. Mmm, mmm, yummy! Ice cream has to be one of everyone's favorite treats. There is obviously something special and quintessentially summer about heading out to the old ice cream parlor. Join the Across Ohio Bicycle Adventure as we journey through Ohio visiting some of our State’s “artisanal” ice cream parlors. Come and taste this summer treat as we pedal our way from Eaton, Ohio to New Castle, PA. Our ride will take us past ice cream museums, ice cream parlors where time has stood still and corner ice cream stands serving delicious soft serve ice cream.

Come join us as we experience the ice cream flavors of summer. Experiencing the taste sensations of Ohio exclusive specialty ice cream parlors makes this well worth the trip. Lots of history and plenty of good food will make the 2009 Across Ohio Bicycle Adventure-The Ice Cream Tour-the tour to take.

This year’s route, averaging 60 miles per day, introduces XOBA riders to seven new host towns in part of the state we have not yet visited. These towns anxiously await our arrival!!!. The intimate size of our group enables us to take advantage of different facilities than larger tours are able to use. Nightly tips on the finer dining establishments along the way will keep us fueled in style. Both tent camping and indoor sleeping is available each night.

XOBA 2009 is the bike tour of choice for the rider who appreciates independence and experienced fellow riders.
