Changing Gears Senior Bicycle Group Did you know that “The Nation’s Largest Paved Trail Network” runs through the center of Springfield? Each year Changing Gears Senior Bicycle Group rides nearly 100 miles of this 350+ mile trail system. Changing Gears began 17 years ago when Joanne and Terry Harris partnered with the then Elderly United, now United Senior Services, to begin a senior bicycling group here in Springfield, Ohio. Just in Springfield we ride by or near historic and cultural sites such as a nearby lake and state park, a water park, an ice rink, multiple green park spaces, a skateboard park, a minor league baseball stadium, 4 whitewater features in the local waterway, a children’s splash pad, a free concert in the park series, Disc Golf, a large auditorium with art performances, an art museum, an internationally famous architect’s house, a fabled Rock Garden, a stage coach House/Inn that at one time ended a national trail to the west, a beautiful Arboretum and an amazing Heritage Center. In a new age Springfield is being reinvented as a city where cyclists can stay fit, explore this city’s culture and heritage sites, attend sporting and art performances, plus commute to work from the seat of their bicycle. We ride the Simon Kenton Trail (Urbana to Springfield), the Little Miami Scenic Trail (Springfield to Loveland), the Buck Creek Trail (Buck Creek State Park to Snyder Park), the Prairie Grass Trail (Xenia to London), the Great Miami River Trail and Stillwater River Recreation Trail (Piqua and Wegerzyn Gardens Metro Park to Miamisburg) and the Xenia-Jamestown Connector (Xenia to Jamestown). This year we have 29 rides and 23 of these are separate and distinct rides. We have had as many as 56 riders on a ride. We ride at a leisure pace (10 MPH) and stop at a restaurant half way out or at the end of each ride. We also do picnic lunches on some rides. We pride ourselves as being a social group with a bicycling problem. In addition to United Senior Services in Springfield we are affiliated with the Ambassadors of the Clark County Trails, Bike Springfield and Bike Miami Valley. Please join United Senior Services and join us for a social, cultural, and fitness experience geared towards seniors that is unique in Springfield, Clark County and the greater Miami Valley. .

Miami Valley Cycling Summit Communities Directory
MIAMI VALLEY CYCLING SUMMIT COMMUNITIES DIRECTORY 1.1. INTRODUCTION This Cycling Directory provides a review and assessment of existing bicycle facilities in the Miami Valley Region and the organizations that help make the facilities possible. The directory defines various bicycle infrastructure types, including on- and off-street facilities. A discussion of the existing bikeway system follows with a review of facilities in each of the four counties in the Region. The directory takes a look at other bicycle infrastructure components, including signage, end-of-trip facilities, and multi-modal connections, and then briefly summarizes existing programmatic efforts to encourage bicycling. 1.2. EXISTING BIKEWAYS The following sections describe existing bikeways in the Miami Valley region, discussing statewide and regional bikeways followed by an overview of bikeways within each of the Counties in the Region. Shared use paths comprise the vast majority of the Region’s existing bikeway network. The Miami Valley benefits from a comprehensive and generally well-connected trail system that has developed over time. In response to the devastating 1913 floods, the Miami Conservancy District (MCD) was formed and charged with developing a flood control system. The flood control channels along the Great Miami River and other waterway corridors now carry an extensive trail system. In 1978, the first eight-mile trail loop was developed in downtown Dayton, and today, the area boasts over 200 miles of trails. 1.2.1. NATIONAL AND STATEWIDE TRAILS IN THE MIAMI VALLEY Portions of the Miami Valley’s bikeway system serve as elements of designated national trails, described below. NORTH COUNTRY NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL Officially designated in 1980, the North Country National Scenic Trail passes through seven states, including North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition
Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition No school should not mean “no learning.” Keep your kids active physically and mentally this summer by providing them fun, interesting, and educational things to do. This summer enrichment guide has 3 major parts: summer theme suggestions (this year focusing on the out-of-doors and fun at home), websites to find activities and events over the summer months, and suggested destinations within a 2 ½-3 hour radius of St. Thomas More. We are already planning ways to have fun over the summer. Joe has chosen a Hiking theme (our outdoor focus) and Michael has chosen Cooking (fun at home). Hopefully this guide will help your family do the same! Julie Esposito ([email protected]) Summer Theme Ideas Joe informed me six years ago that he wanted to study fossils. Michael, not wanting to be outdone, promptly said that if Joe got to study fossils, he wanted to study bones. Thus was born our new tradition of summer themes. Each child choses a topic and we look for books, websites, activities, events, destinations, and adventures centered around the theme. Other themes we have explored included gardens, forts, insects, airplanes & aviation, astronomy & the night sky, archeology, games, international, and Indians. Here are some of the ways we accomplish this: Check-out and read library books on the chosen topic(s) Search the web for videos and kid-friendly websites Have family discussion on topics related to the theme and family game nights Attend programs/activities offered locally for kids that fit in with the theme Visit places in town or as day trips to the surrounding area that fit the theme Look for ways to incorporate the theme in our vacation travel plans Plan cooking/dining experiences around the theme COVID-19: Did you know that in all the countries tracking COVID-19 outbreaks, there has been only one major identified outbreak outdoors? 90% of outbreak incidents took place in homes, workplaces, restaurants, and indoor gatherings (i.e.
