Sixth-generation farmer Austin Heil created the Cursive Ohio charitable bike ride as a one-time opportunity to raise funds for a good cause. Ten years on, Heil draws riders to the Ada area for a beautiful, flat outing where they follow a route that spells O-h-I-o in cursive letters.

In recent years, Heil has used the ride to benefit the Ohio AgrAbility program, which supports Ohio farmers with a disability or long-term health condition.
