Circleville Road Loop (18.5 miles) Print E-mail

This is arguably the best short ride around. Clocking in at under 20 miles, it is perfect for a quick spin after work. While short in length, this ride is most certainly long on country views and pleasant roads. After a short stint on one of the Centre Region's bicycle paths, you will wind your way north through Patton Township. After turning east on 550 and crossing US 322, enjoy a roller coaster of a ride along Buffalo Run before completing your loop around scenic state game lands and the Toftrees Village.
