Pxl356 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hey Guys ,My name is PJ ( peter john in frenxh basically ) i'm somehow need in the forum since i mostly ready but never participated mostly due to minor language barrier.I'm leaving in Columbus ( clintonville ) for 4 years now , moved originally from France. I have several bikes ( Str3 , tw200 , a vintage honda Cl90 and a few mini bikes for show ) and tend to ride alone or with my wife.My limited knowledge of the state usually make me end up on the worst road ( straight line every where in thia country ! ) or boring ride and i don't know much people to ride with.I figured i should introduce myself and try to meet a few people to find the courage to show to a fre events and ride together.I love all sort of riding and slowly consider hitting Mid-Ohio track.Feel free to encourage me to join any kind of bike night/events !thanks !Pj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck78 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Welcome! http://goo.gl/maps/At4K2 There you go, that is one of the only two fun curvey rides that I enjoy on the northern half of the city. That one is very easy to navigate, and that's a route to and from Clintonville for you! The other nearby ride is up around Hoover Reservoir and Alum Creek Lake, and involves Red Bank Rd, Sunbury Rd, and some others and ends up at Hogback Rd. More complicated, but if you spend some time on google maps, you can map out a similar route to arrive at those points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck78 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 From another new member intro that I just posted, here is one of my favorite 4 hour or so rides that takes you to the best roads that you can find in the best part of Ohio - Southeast of Columbus! Without using GPS, I usually type up abbreviated directions and print them in small font in a list that I can cut out into a vertical rectangle, and use clear packing tape to affix them to the center of my tach face. http://goo.gl/maps/NUmD5 (take 33E to 33E Lancaster bypass)----------------------------R on US-22L on Delmont Rdveer L on Stoney Ridge RdL on Hamburg RdR on Christmas Rock RdL on S Broad St (40 feet)R @ prison - Revenge RdL on Clear Creek RdR on 33E (SUNOCO)R on Opossum Hollow RdR on 374SR on 374S/180WL on 374SL on Big Pine RdR on 664SL on Harble-Griffith RdR on Ilesboro RdL on 374S (to end)R on 56W (TO GAS)-------------------------------head back E on 56L on Chapel Ridge RdR on 374SR on 56ER on 664NL 374NR on 374N (veer L@678 to stay on 374)R on 374N/180E2nd L on Jack Run Rdcont. on Snortin Ridge RdL on Clear Creek RdR on Revenge RdL on S Broad @ prisoncont. on Christmas Rock RdL on Hamburg RdR on Delmont(quick way home:R on 22E, L on 33W)------------------------------(back roads home)cont. on Delmont @US-22L on Crumley RdR on Mt Zion Rd (to end)L on Lithopolis Rd NWR on 317N Hamilton RdL on 33W (written directions are similar to map but not exactly identical, the back road rural way home in the written directions is shown on the map as the way to get there). Starts out casual country roads that are nice with curves. Then turns to big roller coaster hill straight roads, then back roads that have a few curves but bumpier road surface, then at the prison the roads get really good! Once you get on 374, things are all smooth pavement after that for the most part and EXCELLENT roads, curves, scenery. There are many cliffs and waterfalls hiking spots you can stop at. Bring the lady and make a day of it! Lots and lots of curves and scenery. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
