Miami Valley Bikeways Guide and Map Now Available
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the Miami Valley Ohio Bikeways Guide Map – 2014 Edition. This fourth edition of this very popular map will be available from parks agencies, some local governments, and various local bike shops. Download the 2014 Miami Valley Bikeways Map as a PDF document. You can order a 2014 Miami Valley Bikeways Map online. MVRPC will ship a paper copy of the map directly to you. Larger quantity requests are handled on a case-by-case basis, and filled only if quantities are available. To request more than one map, contact Kjirsten Frank, 937.223.6323.
“The 2014 map provides the most up-to-date information on the Miami Valley Trails, the nation’s largest network of paved, off-street trails. Over 95,000 copies of the map were printed this time. That’s the largest print run of the four editions,” stated Brian O. Martin, MVRPC’s Executive Director. “It’s a testament to its popularity. Our local partners, who distribute and help pay for the map, wanted more copies printed.”
New trails in this edition include the Dayton-Kettering Connector (Trail #19) and the extension of the Simon Kenton Trail (Trail #3) from Urbana to Bellefontaine. As compared to the 2011 edition, the Great Miami Trail (Trail #25) in Miami County is now shown as a continuous route from Tipp City to Piqua. The map also details the detour routes in Downtown Dayton due to the years’ long project to reconstruct and modernize I-75. Buckeye Trail and North Country Scenic Trail routes are now shown and our popular mileage matrix includes more cities and towns to help trip or training planning.
The 2014 map has an exciting new feature. The new map highlights thirty-one (31) attractions found along the trails to give residents and visitors alike a better sense of what can be found along these beautiful greenways. Trail users will notice museums, parks, historic sites, outdoor sports venues, as well as eight (8) National Aviation Heritage sites right along the trails.
“We are extremely grateful to our sponsors for helping offset the cost to print these maps. These sponsorships provide critical funding enabling the park districts, bike shops and local governments to provide the maps FREE-OF-CHARGE,” explained Martin. Sponsors include “Presenting Sponsor” Cox Media Group (Ohio) and returning “Bronze Level Sponsor” Children’s Medical Center. New sponsors for the 2014 edition include: “Gold Level Sponsor” Dayton Power & Light and “Bronze Level Sponsors” Bike Miami Valley, the Dayton Cycling Club, Great Miami Outfitters, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Safe Kids Greater Dayton.
Mad River Run Grand Opening Monday
A grand opening event will be held for the Mad River Run at Eastwood MetroPark at 12:30 p.m. Monday, May 5. Enter at 1385 Harshman Road.
Part conservation, part recreation, the Mad River Run includes a kayak and canoe whitewater feature in the Mad River, river access points, and an area for observing paddlers or just enjoying the river. Construction was funded in part by a $100,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Dayton. Members will celebrate and commemorate the Mad River Run during the grand opening.
“The Rotary Club of Dayton is excited to support this new destination for free, active outdoor recreation and place where everyone can connect with the Mad River,” said Greg Birkemeyer, president of the Rotary Club of Dayton. “Enhancing our river assets is critical to making the Miami Valley an even better place to live, work and play.
“Recovery work after Dayton’s great flood of 1913 was the first relief project for Rotary International, so this was the perfect project for the Rotary Club of Dayton to support to commemorate our 100 years of service to the local community,” Birkemeyer added.
The Mad River Run also improved the aquatic habitat and safety characteristics of the river while providing a 4-mile paddling experience from Eastwood to RiverScape MetroParks.
“The Mad River Run is part of a renewed focus on rivers in our community, and this project accentuates a key river corridor that leads right into downtown,” MetroParks Executive Director Becky Benná said. “Improving outdoor recreation opportunities is a key component in attracting and retaining the workforce that will power our regional economy, as well as in strengthening Dayton’s vibrancy.
“We thank the Rotary Club of Dayton for its generous donation that has helped Five Rivers MetroParks’ fulfill its mission to protect the region’s natural heritage and provide outdoor experiences that inspire a personal connection with nature,” Benná added.
In addition to the new play areas for paddlers at Mad River Run, spectators can view the action from the riverbank. The river feature serves as a swiftwater rescue training classroom, and additional programs are planned for advanced paddling and maneuvering training in moving water.
“The features on the Mad River have helped meet the needs of the paddling community — not only for current paddlers and the new ones we gain daily, but for future generations,” said local paddling expert and enthusiast Lamar Jackson. “As a father of two, a paddler and instructor, I see the big picture of something like this and can assure you my children and I will be taking full advantage of what the current feature and planned features have to offer. The ease of access and location makes this a great place for instructional clinics for paddling or swift water rescue, and the location of the Mad River Run couldn’t be at a better spot for the public to see.”
In addition, those interested in fishing will benefit from deep water holes formed by the water flow around the River Run rock structures, where fish tend to concentrate to stay out of the river current.
“The Mad River Run is a great addition to the Miami Valley,” said Pete Ziehler of the National Association of Professional River Anglers. “It’s a place for anglers to seek fish pooled above and below the run. This also enables fly anglers to hone their skills with the calmness of the waters. This gem is really a keystone in the continued development of the waterways in the MetroParks system.”
Yoga For Cyclists
The Miami Valley is one of the best places for cycling in the Midwest, and Day Yoga Studio can help you enjoy more time in the saddle this year! Join Elizabeth Raffa (RYT-200) for a 4-week yoga series dedicated to cyclists.
The cyclist series will focus on yoga poses to enhance your performance during rides, while minimizing muscle soreness and recovery time afterwards. These poses build core strength and muscle, increase flexibility and help prevent injuries common to those of us who spend hours pedaling and hunched over the handlebars. The poses learned in this series will help you enjoy as much time on your bike as you possibly can this season!
This series is open level, and will benefit both the advanced practitioner and those brand new to yoga (or cycling!). Special focus will be placed on key trouble areas for cyclists – hips, hamstrings, low back, neck and shoulders.
Date: Monday, April 28 – Monday, May 19 Time: 7:30 – 8:30pm
Cost: $45
Location: Day Yoga Studio 1000 Brown Street
Registration is required. Please visit dayyogastudio.com or call 937- 829-5947 to register.
About the instructor: Elizabeth began a dedicated yoga practice in 2009. As her practice deepened, she was energized by renewed health and inspired by the body’s ability to heal naturally. She earned her RYT-200 in 2013. Her classes focus on personal strength and body/mind appreciation. Elizabeth is also certified by the Veteran’s Yoga Project in Mindful Resilience. This practice uses yoga, meditation and breathwork as a resource to help those facing post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related psychological difficulties navigate a personal path to inner stability and calm.

MetroParks Offers Smart Cycling Class
5K AIDS Benefit Walk/Run
Registration Opens For Dayton’s Longest Running Half Marathon
The Dayton River Corridor Classic (DRCC) began in 1977 and has been drawing runners both near and far to the Miami Valley. Runners are attracted to the race because of the DRCC’s intimate feel, friendly competition, business Expo, beautiful course with autumnal weather, and the good times had year after year. There will be one race with two distances, a half marathon and a 5K run or walk. The race will be held Sunday, October 12th, 2014 and starts and finishes at the Payne Recreation Center (3800 Main St. Moraine, Ohio 45439) at 9:00am.
To kick off the weekend a business expo featuring over 40 businesses and organizations takes place on Saturday October 11th at noon at the Payne Recreation Center. Looking for a chance to interact with 1000 people in a short time? Our Expo is the perfect opportunity whether you are a business, club, academic group, or any other type of organization. If you have something you think would be of interest to runners and their families contact them about reserving a table. The race is attracting a number of sponsors. Already signed up are Kettering Sports Medicine, LaRosa’s Pizza, Runners Plus, EarthFare, Key Sports, Nox Gear, among others. Many of these sponsors will have a table set up for the Expo.
There are a number of changes in store for the race this year. Registration has been increased to 2,000 total participants (1,500 for the half marathon and 500 for the 5K).
This year we will again be offering a $10 discount for early half marathon registration. You can register online at rundayton.org.
This discount will be available to all participants who register between April 1st and April 3rd. Ohio River Road Runners Club (ORRRC) members will still be eligible to receive a $10 discount for the half marathon until September 28th 2014.
Classic is a great race for both the experienced runner and someone just getting into running. Our two distances make this an event the whole family can enjoy. The goal is friendly competition and a lot of fun.
Participants will once again receive a half marathon medal and a t-shirt this year. The “Pancake Guy” will be returning, flipping pancakes at participants and spectators from up to 30 feet away. This is a family oriented event with music and entertainment for kids and parents while the runners continue on with the race.
The DRCC will also be launching a social media contest where followers and participants will vote to choose local Dayton charities to donate a total of $5,000. The contest starts with ten charities which will be voted on by participants in a social media campaign, down to 3 winners, dividing the funds as $2,500.00 for the winner, $1,500 for second place, and $1,000 for third. Look for more info soon.
Bike Share to Roll Into Dayton Spring 2015
Community leaders gathered at Second Street Public Market today 
to announce the required $1 million in capital funding has been secured to launch a bike share program in Greater Downtown Dayton in 2015. Earlier this month, Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) approved 2014 funding from the Federal Highway Administration Surface Transportation Program to cover capital costs for 22 bike share stations. Mayor Nan Whaley announced that the City of Dayton has committed to providing $250,000 which includes a needed local match to secure the capital funds and partial operating support to launch the program.
Dayton’s bike share, which will launch in spring 2015, will feature 22 strategically located stations, all within an approximate two mile radius of downtown Dayton. Each station will contain six to ten bikes, totaling more than 200 bikes. Stations will be placed within 1/4 mile of one another so it users will not have to walk more than 5 minutes to find an available bike. All bikes are securely locked, require a membership or credit card to access and will allow for GPS tracking. Customers – who range from one-day users to annual subscribers – are able to take unlimited trips on the bikes. Trips may be up to 30-45 minutes in length and may go to any other station or back to the original location.
Brian Martin, Executive Director of MVRPC shared, “The role of alternative transportation modes—such as bike share—in enriching their communities is extremely important, and our own bike share program will enable Dayton to keep pace with similar cities who already enjoy the benefits of bike share.”
The Downtown Dayton Partnership has seen evidence that that bike share programs bolster urban vibrancy, are a major factor in downtown livability, and maximize the connectivity of existing public transit infrastructure. Dr. Michael Ervin, DDP Co-Chair said, “Advancing Dayton’s cycling culture is an important strategy in the Greater Downtown Dayton Plan.” But it’s not just the Downtown Dayton Partnership who want to see this happen. Ervin continues, “Organizational partnerships have been crucial to the establishment of a viable strategy for Dayton’s bike share program, and they are a testament to the community’s enthusiasm for this initiative.”
The organizations that have stepped up to implement the bike share program include Greater Dayton RTA, Bike Miami Valley and MVRPC. Bike Miami Valley be securing staff over the next year to oversee customer management, sponsorship outreach, customer memberships, organizational partnerships, and marketing and promotions with plans to hire an Executive Director in late summer or early fall. Once the program is launched, RTA will maintain the bike share equipment and balance the distribution of bikes across the station network. MVRPC identified the capital funding source and will provide additional support, including office space for bike share staff. Combined, these partnerships will lower the annual bike share operational costs by more than $135,000 each year. Immediate next steps will be to issue an RFP (a required step since bike share will be run by a public agency) to select an equipment vendor and develop the program branding and name.
Mark Donaghy, Executive Director of Greater Dayton RTA sees bike share as a “last mile connector” and a long-anticipated asset 
in better serving RTA patrons and promoting bus ridership. Users can ride the bus into downtown and pick up a bike to get to their exact destination with fewer transfers and more convenience; bike share adds to a system of transportation options within the downtown area. Donaghy says, “We look forward to seeing this important community asset grow.”
Andy Williamson, with Bike Miami Valley shared, “Bike Miami Valley is excited that Dayton will join the collection of more than 25 cities across the U.S. with bike share transportation systems.”
Although bike share is growing in popularity across the nation, Dayton is the second city to announce that they’ve completed the process of securing the needed capital funds. An appropriate fit since Dayton was designated in 2010 as a bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists (with the goal to reach platinum level by 2020). Cincinnati is currently fundraising with hopes to launch Cincy Bike Share in the near future, and both Cleveland and University of Toledo are in research/planning modes with hopes to create their own bike share program.
But is Dayton ready? Scott Murphy with Bike Miami Valley says yes. Murphy explained, “We set out about a year and a half ago to study the feasibility of bike sharing in the Dayton region by benchmarking our community against others of similar size who have done bike sharing successfully. We looked at factors that correlate to actual bike share usage in other cities; things like population density, job density, where young people are clustered in our community. What we found surprised us; not only does Dayton measure-up to these communities, we actually outpace other bike share cities of similar size for key bike share design factors. The community is ready to do this.”
The idea is there, the plan is set, the money is confirmed: the reality of bike share roll out for Dayton in spring of 2015.
Celebrate Earth Day With Adopt-A-Park
Go green by protecting and cleaning green spaces in honor of Earth Day: Join Five Rivers MetroParks’ 27th annual Adopt-A-Park event from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 19. Register online by April 7 at www.metroparks.org/adopt.
A diverse crew of volunteers of all ages, accessibility levels and backgrounds join forces during this event to make our parks and river corridors healthier, more attractive and friendlier places to visit. Volunteers will participate in projects aimed at improving the environment at more than two dozen sites throughout the Dayton area.
Volunteers will receive a free T-shirt and lunch at RiverScape MetroPark, and project supplies will be provided. Groups are encouraged to register early to ensure space at available sites.
“With this year’s high water and snow, cleanup along our rivers and bikeways will be especially important,” said Kevin Kepler, volunteer services manager for Five Rivers MetroParks. “We’ve seen some incredible wildlife during past clean ups, including beavers, otters, red fox and numerous interesting birds. You never know what you’re going to come across.”
In addition to cleanup, volunteers will plant trees, prepare garden beds, remove invasive species and paint. This year’s Adopt-A-Park volunteers also will help with conservation efforts to restore our forests by checking on tree seedlings that have been planted in past years, repairing protective tubes and making sure the seedlings are growing as planned.
“Environmental stewardship is a top of priority at Five Rivers MetroParks,” Kepler said. “We do this work year-round to help protect our environment, and the Adopt-A-Park volunteers help us create cleaner parks and natural spaces. Plus, it’s a great way to get back outside after winter, celebrate Earth Day and welcome spring.”
In 2013, more than 2,000 people volunteered at 37 sites located throughout Montgomery County to remove trash and invasive species, maintain trails, and prepare garden beds. Roughly 28,000 pounds of litter and 300 tires were removed; 13,500 pounds of recyclable materials were collected; and 6,000 trees were planted.

Sprinting into Spring
I’d love to lie to you and tell you I love winter – that I’m a “glass half full” kind of girl who can find the silver lining to the ninety thousand snow storms we’ve had this winter. But I can’t. I can’t even pretend to like anything about cold weather, the grey skies and the fact that going outside now means I’m sporting gear worn by Dennis Quaid in The Day After Tomorrow. I’ve pretty much quit winter. Given up. Stopped watching Jamie Simpson on WHIO tell me we’re going to have another “polar vortex.” Gone on strike. Done.
So, in an attempt to wish myself into an early spring and warmer temperatures, I’ve started planning ahead to my favorite part of the year: race season. I’m not ashamed to admit that this winter has definitely had an impact on my waistline. I think it’s safe to say that everyone has a little cabin fever lately, and we’re all aching to get outdoors. Soon enough, we’ll be dusting off those gym shoes (oh, is it just me whose been a little lazy on those resolutions?), and peeking outside like bears coming out of hibernation.
I can’t promise spring will come any sooner, but I can guarantee you that there are some pretty awesome races this spring worth getting off the couch for. Here are the races worth checking out this spring:
The Big Hoopla 4-miler
When: Sunday, March 16
Info: http://www.daytonhoopla.com/
Why it’s awesome: This is the ultimate area fun-run for the basketball lover. Held on Selection Sunday, the race kicks off the March Madness mayhem we’ve all come to love. Dayton hosts the NCAA First Four games, making this race an excellent excuse to pull that basketball lover in your life off the couch and right into the action.
Harrigans 5k
When: March 22,
Info: http://www.harrigans5k.com/
Why it’s awesome: Harrigans generously donates 100% of event proceeds to four different charities. And for the runners? St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t end after the green beer runs out on March 17. After a quick 3.1 miles on a fairly flat neighborhood course, runners pack into Harrigans for early morning beers. Why? Because running validates drinking before noon, of course.
Run For The Health Of It
When: April 12
Info: http://www.speedy-feet.com/race-entry.php?id=1116
Why it’s awesome: Join the Junior League of Dayton at this chip-timed 5k or 10k event that starts downtown at RiverScape. Stick around after the race – in conjunction with the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton, the Junior League of Dayton will run informative healthy lifestyle stations sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
Panerathon 5k
When: April 27
Info: http://www.panerathon.com/index-dayton.html
Why it’s awesome: Panera’s race proceeds go towards The Children’s Hunger Alliance. The course winds through Centerville’s flat neighborhoods, and the Panerathon boasts some of the best post-race eats around. Panera pastries and sandwiches are in abundance at the finish line.
Furry Skurry
When: May 10
Info: www.hsdayton.org
Why it’s awesome: This pet-friendly event boasts lots of four-legged running companions at its 5k and 1 mile walk benefiting the animals at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. Local vendors flock to this event, now in its 23rd year, so be sure to stick around and check them out!
There are tons of charities and organizations out there worth lacing up those tennis shoes for – not to mention the fact that getting outdoors and moving your feet is just good for you. If it’s not one of these fine races, find something that inspires you and challenge yourself to run for it. In the meantime, keep dreaming of warmer temperatures, more green and less grey, and for the day the Elsa’s patio opens for spring.

Dayton’s Roller Girls Season Starts **Ticket Give Away**
The Gem City Rollergirls (GCRG) are Dayton’s only skater owned and operated flat track roller derby league. Like a lot of other leagues around the country, the formation of the Gem City Rollergirls was inspired by the airing of the A&E series “Rollergirls” about a banked-track derby team out of Austin, Texas. Many of our players saw “Rollergirls” and knew that they wanted to play derby. It all began in 2005 when founding skater Helen of DesTroy scoured the internet for other girls interested in starting a team in Dayton. The team had its first Meet & Greet at the Skateworld of Kettering on January 22, 2006, and its first practice on February 19, 2006.
Since then the team has had a variety of changing line-ups. They have skaters from all walks of life, from ages 18 to 60, single gals to moms with kids, medical assistants to teachers to accountants to cosmetologists. Meet a few of the girls:
Reckless Ratchet
Why did you pick your name?: I picked Reckless because when I first started scrimmaging with the team I was out of control… I still enjoy skating at reckless speeds toward the back of the pack. Ratchet was a nickname given to me in school many years ago. Thus was born Reckless Ratchet
What is your pre-game ritual?: Feeling sick to my stomach. I like to distract myself with cleaning the house until it’s time to head to Hara.
What do you “geek out” about?: Spending time with my awesome husband and three wonderfully rotten and precocious kids… and derby!
Demolition Curvy
Why did you join derby?: I joined after watching my first bout back in 2010. As soon as the whistle blew and both teams started hitting each other, I knew this was something I had to do! After that, I showed up at the next practice and have been doing it ever since.
Why did you pick your name?: Because I demolish anything my way and I’ve got some wicked curves 🙂
What advice would you give someone new to derby?: It takes a lot of work-off and on the track so be prepared. Don’t get down on yourself and stay positive!
Diva Vin Detta
Why did you join derby?: I have been a rink rat my entire life, I ran into the Gem City Rollergirls on Myspace, lol. I went to my first practice just to check it out in April 2009 and was immediately told to strap on some skates. I got to hit some girls and they definitely hit me back. I have been dedicated to this kick ass sport ever since.
What is your pre-game ritual?: Bathroom, banana, bathroom, red-bull, banana, choose game day bandanna, skate.
What advice would you give someone new to derby?: You will know immediately if this sport is for you. Don’t force it. If you think it is for you, don’t quit. Don’t rush your name. Names are not the sport, they are cute and fun and sometimes, a little bad ass but they do not make you a better skater, practice does. So just keep skating the name will come, eventually.
Outer Spacey
Why did you join derby?: Growing up, I was a rink rat. I’ve skated for as long as I can remember, so it wasn’t very hard to talk me in to trying it! After joining, I realized it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I feel so lucky to have found this *amazing* team.
Why did you pick your name?: I actually didn’t choose my own name. You see, if you can’t decide on a name, one will be given to you. Apparently I have a tendency to “space out” 🙂
What is your pre-game ritual?: Burger King. Enough said.
What advice would you give someone new to derby?: It isn’t easy, but IT’S WORTH IT. Please, please, please don’t give up. Because, in the end, all of the bruises/blood/soreness is worth it.
The ladies season opener is this Saturday night, Feb 22nd in the Ball Arena at the Hara Arena Complex! Get 
your tickets for this double header against Chemical Valley and A-Town. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets for only $10! At the door prices are $12 for adults and $7 for ages 8-12. Doors open at 4:30 and game time is 5:30. They will lead off with the ladies of Violet Femmes vs A-Town and finish the night off with Purple Reign vs Chemical Valley.
Do you want to be part of the Gem City Rollergirls? We can’t blame you. There are several ways to get involved.
NSO
The best way to help our organization and learn more about derby at the same time is to volunteer. An “NSO” is a Non-Skating Official. You may spot them in pink shirts at bouts keeping stats, managing the penalty box, selling tickets, keeping score, and more. Everyone who works our bouts does so on a volunteer basis, and we can always use more volunteers! NSOs gain free entry into bouts they work and get an inside look at the organization. If you plan to skate with the team when boot camp rolls around, this is a great place to be in the meantime.
Referee
Those folks in stripes are also volunteers. Is bashing and crashing not your cup of tea? Does your schedule not jive with our practice times? You may prefer to learn your way around a whistle. Referees often attend regular team practices and the skating is equally intense. Contact us to learn more.
Skate
We are always looking for new skaters for our team. No skills? No gear? No problem! All you need to start is some dedication and a fierce desire to get out on the rink and kick some butt!
Do you think you have what it takes to be a roller girl? If so, mark your calendars. Gem City will hold two boot camps this year to bring in new talent. To skate, you must be a female age 18 or older. High skill, low skill, never strapped wheels to your feet…Gem City welcomes you. You bring the will and we’ll show you the way.
Tentative dates for 2014 boot camp are as follows:
Mid-season boot camp: June 30th, July 1st, 3rd, & 6th.
Off season boot camp: October 13th, 14th, 16th, 19th.
