MOUNT VERNON – Hundreds of bicyclists arrived in Mount Vernon Wednesday afternoon as the Great Ohio Bike Adventure (GOBA) stopped in town during the annual event. This is the fourth time the event has ventured to Knox County. The participants were greeted with temperatures in the upper 80’s and a downtown area full of food stands and special activities. Several of the cyclists stopped in Gambier at the locomotive along the Kokosing Gap Trail.
