Detour

Until about November 15, riders along the Back Roads and Beaches Bike Tour will need to make a slight adjustment in the southern portion of the route. Jones Rd. is closed between Quarry and Pitts Rd. This is in the south portion of the route in the Findley State Park area. So, if you're beginning the route at Griggs Rd by Findley State Park, instead begin by taking SR 58 north to Jones Rd, turn left at Jones and right onto Pitts Rd. to avoid the closed road. If you're coming from the north, at the junction of Pitts Rd and Jones, turn left instead of right. Then make a right at SR 58. This will take you down to Findley State Park.

Occasionally you will find portions of the Back Roads and Beaches route will have been "chip and sealed". Although this is a temporary situation, you may have to adjust your route by taking a parallel road. This usually isn't hard to do along Lorain County's rural roads.
