Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure

GOBA is a bicycle-camping tour and "an adventure on two wheels with 2,999 of your closest friends." Each year the GOBA route features a different part of Ohio, traveling through peaceful countryside and stopping at exciting tourist destinations. The week-long adventure offers fun, Ohio town hospitality, and the challenge of your life.

Around 3,000 cyclists from all across the country (and from outside the U.S.) participate each year, riding a 50-mile (average) route each day through some of Ohio's most scenic areas. GOBA is a tour, not a race; most riders find plenty of time during the day for sightseeing, snoozing on the grass, and enjoying food along the way.

Registration deadline is May 19, 2010. Rider limit is 3,000. Route details and registration materials will be available November 23, 2009, on goba.com or 614-273-0811.
