Publisher's Synopsis
f you think the Midwest is nothing but flatlands covered with cornfields, then you need to hop on your bicycle and rediscover the startling diversity and beautiful scenery of the states of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Thanks to this indispensable book, you can select a B&B as your base of operations and set out to explore the countryside using the maps and cue sheets for at least two rides that begin right from each inn's driveway. From the unexpected highlands around Marietta, Ohio, to the beautiful emerald necklace of Cleveland's urban parks, from the woods and lakes of Michigan to the quintessential small towns of Indiana, there is a destination for you in Bed, Breakfast & Bike. The lodging choices run the gamut, as well. You'll find restored Victorian mansions, rustic lodges, sprawling farmhouses--even a vintage sternwheeler moored in the Muskingum River! The authors have personally selected each of the 27 inns and B&Bs in these pages, and provide you with a thorough description of the accommodations and dining options. To help you remember your trip, there's a chapter full of recipes culled from the inns so that you can replicate that stunning breakfast that fueled you up the first hill.
