Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure

GOBA 2026 to Explore Ohio’s Route 250 Corridor

The Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure (GOBA) will roll through north-central Ohio in June 2026, following a new route along the scenic Route 250 corridor. This year’s weeklong tour will bring approximately 1,500 cyclists to four welcoming host communities — Norwalk, Shelby, Wooster, and Ashland — showcasing the region’s rich history, small-town charm, and vibrant summer events. Riders will launch from the Huron County Fairgrounds in Norwalk, explore Shelby’s proud bicycle heritage and Shelby Bicycle Museum, experience Wooster’s lively downtown and rolling countryside, and celebrate the grand finale at Ashland’s BalloonFest, where colorful hot-air balloons fill the sky. Now in its 37th year, GOBA remains Ohio’s signature weeklong cycling adventure, combining community hospitality, outdoor recreation, and the joy of exploring the state by bike.
