About this event

LOL in Canal Fulton on the Ohio & Erie Canal Bikeways

- a Smart-guided Tour


Ride the canal towpath and bikeways loop and add a canal boat ride or an overnight adventure - even a campsite and Muskingum River canoeing.


Canal Fulton is home to one of the sweetest segments of the Ohio to Erie Canal Towpath, and this tour makes a floop of it! That right - a floop, a partially flattened loop - a CycleNuts original. Besides the magic of the towpath, there is an opportunity to get onto the Ohio & Erie Canal and Tuscawarus River and into a bit of riverside camping. Towards the end of the tour is a pet-friendly tasty spot, just in case you are touring with yours, too (details provided with ticket).


This tour will get your wheels onto the historical Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath, which connected the Ohio River to Lake Erie beginning in the early 19th century. Along the route is the St. Helana III Canal Boat, a replica freighter that gives one-hour horse-drawn tour rides on the Ohio & Erie Canal - CycleNuts tested and approved. There is also a museum/information center with a short movie on the canal's history.


The 20-mile smart-guided route is 93% bikeway and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Most of the route is on crushed stone bikeways that follow the lay of the land, which is flat. Your bike's gears will not see much use. All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour. The route is shaded about 75% of the way. Sweating is optional. You set the pace, starting time, and touring agenda with Selfie Tours.


If you are feeling adventurous, easily add miles to the route by detouring on any of the nearby points of interest.

  • Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy together
  • Mission: to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual cycling to tour together
  • Vision: a united cycling community that tours together on bikeway adventures for the holistic benefit of all

Expect a slow pace under 11 mph average with CycleNuts’ 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities heartily encouraged. Allow ample time for the nature of CycleNuts tours including

  • Trail-side breaks
  • Eating and drinking
  • Picture taking and posing
  • Pacing with the slowest riders
  • Looking at cool stuff along the way
  • And other sorts of tourist activities – as well as unforeseen detours, breakdowns, and delays of various sorts.

Helmets are not mandatory - cycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.

Recommended Gear - A cycle (uni, bi, tri, tandem, E, recumbent, or cycle/trailer rig). Protective gear of your choice. ID. Front and rear lighting. Communication device. Spare tube. Patch kit. Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.

Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
