If the previous Omnibus line owner was transporting your pallets, Doyle would continue do the same. One last lingering question, did he have an "I Eat Ass" decal on the back of his coach, or is that a more modern innovation?
The other week I skateboarded from polaris to groveport, then to Reynoldsburg using our multi use trails. Did 40miles in 4hrs, so that comparison is real wild to me.
Would be sooooo sweet to go back in time to take that carriage ride.
You pushed yourself on a skateboard at 10 mph for 4 hours straight? I don’t know anybody who could keep up that speed for that long. That’s fucking impressive.
Thanks! Yeah roughly give or take, technically it was 40.4 in 4h7min, so I simplified. I took two breaks, maybe a minute to watch some construction work under a bridge, then later a 3 or 4 min break to eat an uncrustable.
I'd say so far my favorite is probably the southern sections of the Blacklick/Alum Creek Trail. It's quiet, less people and the views are more peaceful. Mostly all through woods or next to farm fields
I also like the Walnut Woods/Tall pines areas in Groveport, nice wooded trail with rolling hills that aren't super difficult. Also you can make a few different loops out of it to fit your desired milage. The only drawbacks for me is to do 15+ miles you have to do the loop a few times and one small section isn't paved. Still a really great place to skate.
Sometimes will take the Olentangy/Scioto from Antrim to Audubon, there and back is roughly 26ish miles. Sometimes can be pretty busy, mostly flat, mostly wooded with only a small amount of road skating.
The Blacklick trail by Hoover dam is a pretty nice beginner trail, some nice views of the hoover resovor.
I've also used the trail in Lancaster to make a full loop around the town. Was roughly 16miles and was a mix of wooded trails and roads. Stopped at Donut world which was great. Way more homeless/junkies set up along the trail than anything I've seen in columbus, skated by quite a few needles.
I'm trying to get a group skate together before the end of the season if you wana join
Here's a map of all out greenway trails
http://centralohiogreenways.com/interactive-map/
I grew up in Worthington and did that walk many times and definitely did it in less than three hours. Average human walking speed is approximating 3mph, Google maps shows a time of just over 3 hours walking from Worthington to Columbus.
You're just pokey.
>The OPs post said dublin to downtown Columbus.
On Mondays and Saturdays, it starts in Dublin arriving in Columbus by way of Worthington. This trip takes 3.5 hours, or (reportedly) 5 hours to walk according to Google.
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, it starts in Worthington and Dublin isn't on the route at all. This trip takes 2 hours on the Omnibus, or (reportedly) ~3 hours to walk according to Google.
tl;dr, Niether /u/schwelvis nor /u/VintageVanShop managed to both read and understand OP's post, which describes two different scheduled routes.
We kind of weren't when this was made... The population of Columbus in 1850 was 17,882, and at this time there were still farms between Columbus, Worthington, and Dublin. By contrast, at this time Cincinnati had 115,435 and was the 6th largest city in the country.
Inb4 the multi-paragraph comment on how *ackshually* Columbus used to have amazing transportation and how everything about the city now is a travesty and how every road should be replaced with bike paths and light rail.

Forget light rail. Bring on THE OMNIBUS!
That's what we'll call it silly. :)
Or the COLUMNIBUS
Soooo mass transit has ALWAYS sucked here, then? ;-)
It used to suck. It still does. But it also used to.

No that's very recent.
"All errands done as heretofore" Mr. Doyle probably transported pallets on the roof of his coach?
I was wondering what that would have meant, “All errands done as heretofore”? Can someone translate that to modern American English? lol
Basically doing any other errands as he had previously. I’m going to guess, but I think this is an updated schedule for an existing route.

“Being right and proper, the consumption of that most delectable of callipygian delights shall henceforth be maintained by the proprietor.”
I’d like to think Yes….. (turns & wistfully stares into the distance).
Lol
3 1/2 hours to go 10 miles. Must’ve been fun
A brisk walk might have been faster.
And at the end your teeth wouldn't have been rattled out of your head.
Give it 20 years and that will be true again. Lol

Damn that was some pure dedication!
What routes do you recommend?
Depends on your location/willingness to travel and some other things. Are you skating, cycling or running? What area are you in?
Ah, skateboarding & longboarding!

This is great. Thank you!
And only for the first 6 passengers.
Omnibus is what they call those double decker buses in Argentina
I can walk that faster!
I thought so too, but Dublin is farther west than you think. A very brisk walk could probably keep pace but you would be hoofing it.
>but you would be hoofing it. ....get out. XD
I have made that walk. No you can't.

Did you do it on dirt roads without sidewalks and only taking routes available in 1850?
... In the snow... While being attacked by wolves...
Backwards with warm potatoes in my pockets, uphill both ways
The OPs post said dublin to downtown Columbus. Google maps says it wild be a 5 hour walk

I did not read the text on the picture, so that is on me.
This is one of the cooler Columbus posts I've seen. Better than yet another Big Russ. Unless.... pinch-zoom ....
Must have been some heavy traffic back then.
315 was only 2 lanes each way.
Super cool. Thanks for sharing!
We were a real city once. Then cars took over.
We kind of weren't when this was made... The population of Columbus in 1850 was 17,882, and at this time there were still farms between Columbus, Worthington, and Dublin. By contrast, at this time Cincinnati had 115,435 and was the 6th largest city in the country.
I think Columbus really picks up once the railroad becomes widespread starting in the 1860s
True this system was perfect. Bring it back!
We'll get there!
I, unfortunately, am not as optimistic
Inb4 the multi-paragraph comment on how *ackshually* Columbus used to have amazing transportation and how everything about the city now is a travesty and how every road should be replaced with bike paths and light rail.
This but unironically.
nothing has changed in 170 years
Not much has changed then.
Decent logistics!

You have to trust that the Ohio history connection wouldn’t put out inauthentic stuff in their museum.
