Cyclists Rally for World Record Attempt


Although the 1023 cyclists who turned out for GOBA’s attempt to beat the world record for the largest bicycle parade came up a bit short, there was no shortage of enthusiasm and creativity in Wellington today. Parade participants were comprised of both GOBA riders and local cyclists and it appeared a good time was had by all. The Lorain County Fairgrounds has turned into a GOBA tent city filled with food, gear and cyclists of all shapes and sizes. WELCOME! Click here for more photos of today's world record attempt as well as other activities around Back Roads and Beaches.



Parade participants really showed their spirit with colorful costumes and train-themed props to highlight this years “Last train to Gobaville” theme.

GOBA riders (and cyclists!) have a sense of humor!


Century Cycles was a welcome sight to GOBA cyclists looking for last minute purchases, clothing and equipment for their journey.
