READ A SAMPLE<\/a><\/div>\n

Hop on your bicycle, discover Northeast Ohio, and grab a bite to eat along the way.\u00a0Pedaling to Lunch<\/i>\u00a0is your guide to twenty bicycle trips that traverse sixteen Ohio counties. Halfway through each ride, you can rest and dine at scenic eateries such as the Spread Eagle Tavern, Des Dutch Essenhaus, and the Sunrise Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The bicycle rides of\u00a0Pedaling to Lunch<\/i>\u00a0take you on an historic journey across the Western Reserve and its unique sights, including the childhood home of Clarence Darrow; the summer resort where Dean Martin got his start; the farthest point north raided by Confederate troops; the town where the barnstorming pitcher, Alta Weiss, grew up; and the restored residence of Daniel McCook of the \u201cFighting McCooks.\u201d Even more, you\u2019ll pedal past wineries, old mills, and spacious lakes along the back roads and byways where the flow of life is still serene, and the countryside undeveloped.<\/p>\n

Pedaling to Lunch<\/i>\u00a0has detailed maps, accurate mileage notations, and precise directions. Purdum, an experienced cyclist, adds his whimsical commentaries and editorial verve to the scenes and miles. The book is rich with interesting facts and snippets about Ohio towns, characters, and events both famous and infamous.<\/p>\n

A book for novice and expert cyclists alike,\u00a0Pedaling to Lunch\u00a0<\/i>lets you climb on your bike with Stan Purdum as your guide to the scenic sights in your own backyard. Save some gas and get some exercise, or imagine it all from the comfort of your armchair.<\/p>\n
