  1. ......oh, and they got a Whit's in the back of the Hanover House restaurant. There were quite a few bikes in town this Friday when we stopped for Burgers (Mohican Tavern)...prolee jus' everyone out riding.

    If you are coming down SR3, ya got the Iron Pony Saloon at intersection of 3 and SR179. They have raised prices of a sort...salad extra with steaks now...still get the butt load of fries.

  2. Bike Show used to be in late June. They closed down the streets and only bikes allowed in. Rib cook off and bar bands stuff like that. Not sure on the Flxible bus reunion though...hafta Google that one. Could try www.LoudonvilleChamber.com or www.DiscoverMohican.com

    Lodge is great....I stop there frequently on bike ride. Gorge Overlook, covered bridge, dam and lake....ain't walked back to the Falls...if they would let dirt bikes back the trail....who-ha!

  3. Just in, more riding today with this great weather. Roads, a few springs running across road, gravel bits are not too bad except for 520. It is still showing gravel strips down the center of lanes. Be careful.

    Today's ride, SR60 north outa scenic Killbuck to SR39 west to Loudonville....portion of 39 was chipped and sealed last year from SR179 west to Loudonville village limits....packed in well, but I would be leery of too much lateral force in turns....loose the grapple.

    Mohican state forest SR97 okay, only one spring running across road, good sailing to Bellville. Took back roads back to Mohican, not go fast roads. Back into Holmes on SR39 until Nashville. Turned south on SR514 to SR520 and back to the greater Metro Killbuck area.

    Last nite, SR83 to Kershocton, no probs. as mentioned somewhere else SR60 closed by Coshocton, due to high water.....most likely at Blissfield, and look for it to reopen soon. You could chance it, or use my ole favorite back way up from Warsaw to Spring Mtn. and down the other side and come out in Layland...yer hosed however if water is across SR60 at the log cabin near USR62.....

    Enjoy the weekend folks.

  4. High water says radio....prolee at Blissfield, between good ole Killbuck and Warsaw (Riverview High school)....don't expect it to be closed long....planning a trip thru there...Coshocton Sheriff's office could update you re:

  5. Update on the update....soccer game Saturday and drove USR62 from boonies to big city. Looks like all of 62 will be repaved. Well from like Johnstown to Danville and into Holmes. Flashing lights barricades sitting along side of road. Closest to Johnstown one was lit and flashing...Work starting 4/14/14....so I'm figuring sections down and onto next paving operation. Adjust accordingly.

    2tall......Vern Whits raised their prices....it is a buck more than last summer for my usual....that'll put Kershocton Whit's 50 cents cheaper.

  6. Inre: SR520, it is good...strange stress cracks at 90 degree to travel...no issue.....BUT, SR514 from Danville to West end of 520 is showing itz age. Stress cracks along edge line wheel track and various patching done. One big concern is a section of pavement that is raveled .... Chunks not pavement. So slow down for that beauty.

    Re-read my tar snake comment in the Spring entry.... They are not on 206, the tar strips are on USR 62 from 206 east towards Stillwell (Fred's junk yard). Fred has some sort of old mc sitting on his truck at the front gate.....laying on itz side and all muddy. Game on for the curious...stop and see....the Coke machine got dumped to the ground though.

    Was on 206 a coupla Fridays ago....one of the warm ones....forget what it was like.....soooo, mus' be okay if I can't remember it! Only rode 206 from 715/Walhounding to 62. 715 is still the old chip and seal that has let loose in spots....they did try to fix them bumps going onto the bridge(s).

  7. Springtime out and abouts: summary rough winter and lotsa potholes....what i have found on my precious few outings is...USR62 is terrible between Brinkhaven and Danville. You will find ruts that will snatch the handle bars away from you...be careful. At SR206 and down them wonderful curves are the last year's tar snakes....wet and its skippy time. summer? when tar get oozey?

    Danville and the Danvll-Amity Rd. uh, don't go....I'm not sure I like traveling it with the SUV. Pavement rough and patches make it worse, as some of the patches are gone. Danville-Howard Rd. uhmm, okay, they chipped and sealed it last summer, with pea gravel...Knox Co. Seems to like the lil' rolly pea sized stones.

    Howard Hilton, okay burgers....Apple Valley eatery has reopened, same guy that has two places in Mt. Vernon...also decent burgers.

    Wally Road, connecting Greer on SR514 and to SR3 at Loudonville. Consider the Greer side of Wally Rd as you would a gravel road, pretty much all the pavement from Tree Frog to Greer is gone. So if you like rattling plastic or on an adventure bike...otherwise.....avoid it.

    Other odds and ends....SR83 from Millersburg South to Coshocton and New Concord pretty good. I actually cut off of 83 onto SR209 to Cambridge. 209 is patched in places but passable. Poked around back roads in Guernsey Co. Area around Salt Fork....found some very nice tight twisty roads. Birmingham Rd?.....popped out on the other side of Salt Fork and headed north(?). I'll hafta figure out which roads I played on....let y'all know later.

    SR22 by Salt Fork is okay....and speaking of which....just out of Cambridge towards Salt Fork will be Deerassic Classic come August 1 & 2.

    Coshocton....209 as mentioned above.....took SR658 to SR541, the east side of 541. I call the section from i77 to Coshocton East, and the part from Roscoe Village to Martinsburg is West. SR658 okay, passable, but it has some older patches....travel south on it looks to be better than going north. 541 east to Coshocton, not too bad....potholes not until Coshocton itself.

    Encountered lotsa gravel on these roads, most likely sprinkled down from last snow....rain and traffic should thin it out. Again be careful!

    More as I start traveling more.
