Loveland Bike Trail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Loveland Bike Trail is a section of the Little Miami Bike Trail within the Loveland, Ohio city limits that was built along the Little Miami River on the abandoned grade of the Little Miami Railroad. Along with 15 other city parks, it is maintained by City of Loveland Recreation Commission. The trail was opened in the 1980s.[1]
The Tour de Loveland, an annual cycling race named after the Tour de France, was started in the 1990s, in order to promote the Loveland Bike Trail as the centerpiece of Historic Downtown Loveland. The tour featured a route that included many Downtown streets, as well as separate races for younger cyclists. On January 24, 2005, Loveland City Council voted to cancel the Tour, due to declining attendance and a lack of sponsors.[2]
