Ohio to Erie Trail - Self-Supported Bike Camping

In June 2021, I traveled, self-supported, along the 326 miles of the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET), stretching from Cincinnati to Ohio, as well as an additional 56 miles after to reach my home in Huron, Ohio. In this video, I share the different sections of the trail, trail surfaces and conditions, lodging options I chose and a description of the trail and my journey. By the end, I covered 397 miles over six days through heat and, in the end, rain.
