Back on the famous OTET (Ohio River to Lake Erie Trail) we knocked out another section of this 326-mile network of trails made mostly from land which were formerly occupied by railroads and canals. London is called Trail Town because this section of trail is also part of the U.S. Bike Route 50 (San Franciso to Washington DC), The Great American Rail-Trail (Washington state to Washington DC) and the Underground Railroad Route (Gulf of Mexico to Canada). We parked in downtown South Charleston next to an old train caboose, train engine and depot before bicycling east toward Columbus. Eleven miles later we stopped at the Prairie Grass Trailhead Park in London for water and had a short rest before biking back west to our truck. We had tree shade about 15% of the way biking mainly through rural areas and farmlands. The scenery didn’t change much but it was a pleasant ride on this 77-degree sunny day.
