In the May 29, 2009 "Escapes" section of the New York Times, writer Jennifer Bleyer explored the history and beauty of a section of the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route (UGRR) in and around Ripley, Ohio, in "A Bike Trail that Traces the Way to Freedom."
You can explore the UGRR on your own using Adventure Cycling's route maps and our UGRR resource page. You can also join our Heart of the Underground Railroad guided tour which will visit some of the many historical and cultural sites along the UGRR in Ohio, plus spin through charmed Midwestern landscapes.
Check out our Flickr set featuring photos from the 2007 inaugural tour on the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route!
