Description:
Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park has released its schedule of bicycle tours of historic Dayton sites for the summer of 2008. The “Bike with a Ranger” program, sponsored by the National Park Service, provides a healthy and environmentally friendly way to explore Dayton’s exceptional history. In the spirit of the Wright brothers’ roots in bicycling, the casual tours are paced so that participants can socialize and enjoy as well as learn about the region’s rich aviation heritage.
Throughout the summer, rides will alternate on the first and third Sundays of June, July, and August. The tour on the first Sunday of each month is a
moderate to easy bike ride on mostly bike trails approximately 10 miles long and two hours in duration. The tour on the third Sunday will be down
mostly quiet residential streets but also may include some moderately busy roads. This ride will be approximately 15 to 20 miles long and about four
hours in duration.
Tour 2: Third Sundays of June, July, and August
Location: The Wright Cycle Company, 22 South Williams Street, Dayton OH 45402
Dates & Time: June 15, July 20, & August 17, 2008, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (4
hours)
Program: “The Gem City: Historic Homes & Sites of Dayton” This moderately difficult bicycle ride will stop at locations that tell the story of Dayton in the early 20th century. Homes that could be seen on
different tours are Orville Wright’s mansion, Hawthorn Hill; birthplace of NCR founder, John H. Patterson, Patterson Homestead; and industrialist
Edward Deeds’ estate, Moraine Farm. Other sites will include Woodland Cemetery and Carillon Historical Park. Most of the ride will be down
relatively quiet residential streets, but there will be some riding along moderately busy roads. The tour ends where we started--in Wright-Dunbar
Village. The Wright Cycle Company Complex is located at the intersection of West Third and South Williams Streets just west of Downtown Dayton.
