The weekend of April 13 - 14 will be an excellent opportunity for some long training. A group is being formed to travel down to Athens, OH for a long bike ride on Saturday followed by participation in the Athens Marathon/Half Marathon on Sunday.
The rolling hills around Athens are excellent for early season bike training.
The Marathon/Half Marathon is along the Hocking River and is predominantly a flat run course.
If you are thinking about making the trek to Athens make hotel reservations now.
One option is the Hampton Inn Athens (this is where Aimee and I are staying). They have a block of rooms for the Marathon....call them directly to make a reservation ((740) 593-5600).
There is also a Holiday Inn Express in Athens.

I booked a room and registered for the race today.
Looks like it may be a good training weekend.

Tempted, but not sure I can swing it. Doing cycling camp the weekend before this, and tri camp two weeks after. May have to do camp out with girl scouts at Kalahari that weekend (love boogie boarding the wave rider).

If you go, do you have to do the run part?

The run is totally up to you. However, it is an easy run course and it would be fun to have you out there with us.
The Hampton Inn is booked. I got a room at the Days Inn right around the corner from the Hampton Inn.

The run is the Athens Marathon/Half Marathon so it's up to you to register for the race. Or you could ride on Sunday and cheer along the run route.
