At 101-years-old, Clair Duckham, who co-founded the Dayton Cycling Club in 1961, pedaled his low-riding Whiz-Wheel trike from Vandalia to Troy Sunday morning under ideal bicycling weather in celebration of his recent birthday.
It's a trip that Clair said he has made hundreds of times over the years.
Among those who rode with Clair was former Ohio Gov. Bob Taft. This makes the sixth time that Taft rode in this birthday celebration ride, five times as a governor.
"It's a tradition," said Taft. "I'll be back next year if Clair rides."
The distance from Vandalia to Troy along the rural winding back roads of Montgomery and Miami Counties is 18 miles.
