South Chagrin Metro Parks - Solon

[Steve Zager]

Hello, just moved from Chicago last month and am looking to hook up for some training this year. Anyone live near, hit the South Chagrin Metro Parks for running and riding? I'm in Solon about a mile from one of the entrances. Seems like a great place to ride away from speeding cars down Route 91.
I don't know the area very well but if not the South Chagrin Metro Parks, any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve

Welcome to Cleveland!

I live in Shaker Hts and work in Solon so I drive past or through the metro park daily.

You'e right - it relly is a great place to ride/run.

Feel free to shoot me an email and one we can discuss the different options you have. Most of the training right now by club members is being done indoors - but as the weather warms - you'll have no problem finding folks to train with.

The metro parks system in Cleveland is incredible in that you can ride pretty much anywhere within the parks - with varying terrain from killer hills to flats to rollers - all in relative safety.

Club membership renewal is coming up soon and I would certainly encourage you to join the club - for a low $20 investment - the benefits are huge!

Look forward to hearing from you

Andrew

I work in Solon and often commute from Sagamore Hills through the park to Solon. It's a pretty nice little wake up in the morning and the ride home is mucho funo.

Appreciate the input. Are there members that live near by and utilize this park? Interested in joining and want to ensure that there are people to train with nearby w/o having to freqently jump in the car. Thanks!

I'm in the area, and plan to seek out people to ride with when this white crap goes away.

I'd ride w/ you, but only if you're cool. And only if you don't mind my slowness.
