CycleNuts Selfie Cycling Tours
If you like big rivers, historical bridges, and train tunnels you are going to like this tour in Wheeling, West Virginia. In just 11 short miles you will experience riding alongside the mighty Ohio River, set foot (or wheels) on the Wheeling Suspension Bridge (a lot of history here), ride through downtown Wheeling, West Virginia (twice the state capitol and birthplace of West Virginia and outdoor advertising), and pass through the Hempfield Tunnel (is it really haunted?)!
On this self-guided 23 mile adventure you will ride to a tasty turnaround refreshment spot and then return. The route is nearly all bikeway and remarkably level considering the terrain of this very mountainous state. Your bike will get a bit of gear activity, but mostly for bridge ramps and mild rail-to-trail inclines.
Self-guided route is 92% bikeway and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. You set your own pace, starting time, and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert self-guided cycle tour pattern.
Points of interest: Downtown Wheeling, Ohio River, Wheeling Suspension Bridge, Hempfield Tunnel, Heritage Port, Pike Island Locks and Dam, Wheeling Creek Trail, Ohio River Trail, Wheeling Heritage Trail, and Wheeling Creek. Optional points of interest along or near the route include West Virginia Independence Hall, Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack, and Uncle Pete's Restaurant (a CycleNuts tested and approved tasty spot).
HERE'S THE PLAN: CycleNuts provides an expertly designed and tested tour route via internet links to a designated Google Maps route. You supply the bike you are going to ride and a cell phone which will guide you along the Google Maps route provided.
