XOBA visits

For the second year in a row Lorain County was thrilled to have the XOBA (Across Ohio Bicycle Adventure) visit. The 300+ riders were exploring Ohio’s Underground Railroad history and visited several of Lorain County’s historical sites. They spent the night in Oberlin where they wrapped up their evening enjoying the entertainment on Tappan Square and exploring the downtown shopping district. They wrapped up their evening by presenting awards to riders for most flat tires, most miles ridden etc. Riders camped out on the campus of Oberlin College.

Riders from Delware, Ohio and Missouri enjoy their tour of Oberlin and ham it up at the railroad sculpture.

Riders roll into town after a long day of riding.
