Pokey Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I suggest you stay away from 555 all together. Head towards Hocking, head toward Mohican, head towards Marietta, head towards Coshocton, head towards Southern Ohio.....lots of great roads in Ohio. 541, 520, 514, 62, 715, 83, 586, 60, 206, portions of 36, all good roads pretty close to home that would make you smile.

BDBGoalie Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Hoover loop around you is fun. Just don't add to the Crash Church's tally. Sadly not much connected technical stuff around central Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner75 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The route we took on the epic ride was awesome, very good roads, nice and clean for the most part. Take a friend and ride that route minus 555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDBGoalie Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 North on SunburyEast on Central CollegeNorth on CubbageEast on WalnutNorth on Schott (Turns into Red Bank after Smothers)West on Red Bank (Fun decreasing radius right)West on Sunbury to return (Or continue straight until you hit Galena and thats a cool ride too) It is nothing crazy exciting, but it is at least somewhat twisty in places and it has a few fun corners and connecting corner sections.

Don Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yep any road is good ridden that way. As you get used to your bike and the roads then just pick up the pace and then they're even gooder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck78 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Olentangy River Road is twisty, but u have to watch out for deer, and stupid shit motorists. Maybe you meant to say Riverside Drive? Olentangy for the most part i pretty much like a highway with traffic lights. Riverside Drive along the Scioto River, parallel to the Olentangy but west a few miles, is the good one within I270... Riverside Drive and then continue onto Klondike Rd, then you can go north and then cut east and map out a route past Delaware Lake, Hoover Reservoir, and Alum Creek Lake. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=207813457435995713568.0004d0fcde2445c96b05f&msa=0&ll=40.159197,-82.873306&spn=0.186819,0.308647 315 is pretty nice and scenic for just out of the city, the Scenic Byway portion north of 270, all the way until it merges with 23. head south and catch a few roads on the other side of the Olentangy RIver there (Chapman toTaggart Rd I've ridden, probably more good ones also) Edited July 12, 2013 by Chuck78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck78 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think I'm gonna ride this route this weekend to get from here to my buddy's up north, the portions from Newark and looping through the Mohican area and to rt 520 are pretty darn good for this part of the state: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=I-670+E&daddr=40.0793497,-82.7671293+to:N+Cedar+St+to:OH-79+N%2FFallsburg+Rd+NE+to:OH-715+E%2FWalhonding+Rd+to:OH-715+E%2FOH-715+Scenic+E+to:Hwy+83+N%2FOH-83+N%2FRte+83+N%2FState+83+N%2FState+Hwy+83+N%2FState+Route+83+N+to:Hwy+83+N%2FOH-83+N%2FRte+83+N%2FState+83+N%2FState+Hwy+83+N%2FState+Route+83+N+to:US-62+W+to:OH-520+W+to:OH-514+N+to:Wally+Rd+to:Hwy+3+S%2F3-C+Highway+S%2FOH-3+S%2FRte+3+S%2FState+3+S%2FState+Hwy+3+S%2FState+Route+3+S+to:Mill+Rd+to:Main+St+to:OH-97+W&hl=en&ll=40.593882,-82.507668&spn=0.185618,0.308647&sll=40.598183,-82.543373&sspn=0.092803,0.154324&geocode=FVEOYgIdcC0O-w%3BFfWPYwId5xIR-ykRZiFohmc4iDHS6H72Rvtu7Q%3BFRJQYwIddOMW-w%3BFYZyZQIdmCcZ-w%3BFcdEaAIdduQY-w%3BFfauZwIdqoob-w%3BFQzwZgIdbdAe-w%3BFb0kagId2Ase-w%3BFT6zaQId2_0c-w%3BFcLBagIdaEYa-w%3BFX3nagIdvVAa-w%3BFTPNawIdGAQZ-w%3BFfmbawIdGdIY-w%3BFaHiawIdGvoU-w%3BFd7RawIdKfoU-w%3BFZvbawIdKrcU-w&t=h&mra=dme&mrsp=15&sz=13&via=1&z=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck78 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Sorry, learning how map links work on this forum, and learning that it will only let you edit a post within a few minutes of posting it... riverside drive to the 3 lakes to sunbury rd (Hogback Rd is in there and about as twisty as it gets in the columbus area): http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=207813457435995713568.0004d0fcde2445c96b05f&msa=0&ll=40.124291,-83.090973&spn=0.747659,1.234589 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck78 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Sorry guys, this 5 minute cutoff on editing a post is killing me! Can an administrator delete that last post for me, the map wouldn't post like the previous one for me, same link as the post before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck78 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Some of my favorites: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=207813457435995713568.0004d301f515b6c55f4d0&msa=0 you can catch Jack Run Rd on the way home to Columbus north off of 374, to Rich Hollow Rd and/or Snortin Ridge Rd, that takes you back to Revenge Rd and Clear Creek Rd.
