World Of Wildlife Bicycle (WOW)

The 14th annual World Of Wildlife Bicycle Tour features the Western Reserve Greenway in Northeast Ohio’s Trumbull and Ashtabula counties. Riders can choose to bike 20, 40 or any distance up to 68 miles. Except for the first and last miles on public roads, WOW 2018 uses the Western Reserve Greenway, an asphalt-paved, dedicated bike trail. The out-and-back ride is a “rain or shine” event.

WOW 2018 is a supported ride, with refreshment stops on or near the Greenway and pizza and other refreshments at the conclusion of the ride. Greenway Bike Patrol members and other volunteers will provide on-the-trail assistance. Each WOW 2018 participant is required to wear a CPSC approved bicycle helmet while on the route.

Proceeds of WOW 2018 are targeted for the local funds needed for Trumbull County’s Phase 4 of the Western Reserve Greenway, the section between Warren and Niles. Past rides have funded the pavilion materials at the Oakfield Trailhead, 2012 trail sealing and other projects. More than $87,000 has been raised since the first WOW Ride.
