GREENVILLE – The Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, commonly called GOBA, will celebrate its 25th year in 2013 with a visit to Darke County, including an overnight in Greenville and food stops in Versailles and Ansonia. GOBA is an annual, eight-day, 50-mile-per-day circular bicycle camping tour in Ohio that began in 1989 and has grown to be the second largest such event in the country. The tour visits a different part of Ohio each year. The daily routes are designed to visit many of Ohio's tourist attractions, parks, and historical sites.
To educate the community on the benefits of GOBA, and to assist local non-profits interested in participating as food vendors, a meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, January 24 at 7:00 pm in the Greenville High School library.
Julie Van Winkle, the director of GOBA will be on hand to explain what GOBA expects of food vendors, and answer questions. Menu forms will be distributed, and health department packets will be available.
