Northbound Brainstorm
PARKING
In Cincinnati there is a free parking option near beginning at Clear Creek (Clear Creek Park, 6200 Batavia Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45244) 6.2 miles from Ohio River. We could shuttle people in groups of 4 or 5 from lot to our starting point (Schmidt Boat Launch Ramp, 2944 Humbert Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45226 See down below for more info on this option. You need to register and they lock lot at night.
Option 2 Paid parking has been recommended by the shuttle service at the PNC Center. PNC Center - Parking in Cleveland | ParkMe Looking at link looks like it runs $4 on weekends, and $8 early bird on weekdays. The advantage of this is you don’t have to shuttle back to Cincinnati after a week of real exercise.
Of course we are open to other options if folks have a suggestion.

You need to register so they know your car is there overnight. 6200 Batavia Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45244
(513) 474-0003 You call and they email a form which you return then you print the permit for your window of your car. No need to tell them it is a tour just give them dates. If you do tell them it is a tour remind them we are only going to maybe have about 6 people call as Paul explained a couple months back… they panic when you say you are with a bike tour group, they envision it is like a township event with 100s of cars.
Our experience was it was very large, under utilized with nice rest rooms. See our pic is at top of email or at link.
