TRANSPLANTAVERSARY BIKE RIDE Carillon Park to Taylorsville Metropark, Dayton, Ohio

Biking Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller, Holly Eller

Date: August 17, 2025

Today marked my five-year anniversary since my life-saving bone marrow transplant. In essence, it was my fifth birthday with my new immune system, and I now have all my baby/infant vaccinations. To celebrate we biked 20 miles in preparation for next weekend’s 50-mile bike ride in Indiana.

We began at Carillon Park and biked north on the Great Miami Valley Recreational Trail through Dayton and briefly on the Stillwater River Recreational Trail by Island Park. We continued north back on the GMVR Trail parallel to the Great Miami River. Eventually we biked past the now closed Kittyhawk Golf Course where we saw an eagle soaring overhead. This six-mile section of bike trail I have never gone on before. We came to some unexpected forest area where we saw a deer. Just before reaching the Taylorsville Metropark area, we turned around and headed back south.
