Mary#17 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Has anyone done 681 or 143 south of 50? Are they any good? Any other options in that area worth trying? I know there are some good roads further south of there but I don't have enough time to hit those. Thanks. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drc32-0 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Funny you should ask.I was wondering about the same area last week so I went down and rode 143,124 and 554 in that area.of the three I would give 124 the highest marks followed by 143 and newly paved 554 bringing up the rear.They aren't really my type of roads...a little to open for my tastes,some curves but not real concentrated.The western end of 124 being the exception,it's pretty twisty.We included 681 on our Spring Ramble back in May and it got good reviews.It's pretty twisty and has a good flow about,I don't recall many "Gotcha " corners on it.There is one keeper in that area...689.It runs from 32 down to Wilksville,maybe 10 miles.The ends near 32 has some good stuff!You. Can pick up 124 in Wilkesville.365that cuts off of 124 might be worth a look...it looks good on the map.I didn't ride it.Have fun down there.

drc32-0 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 One more correction...when I say the west end of 124 I'm talking about the area east of Wilksville.I didn't ride it west of Wilksville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Mary...we're going to do a ride through that area on Sunday October 5 if you're interested.We'll be starting in Zanesville and finishing up just south of Galipolis.Lots of good roads on very good pavement.

Mary#17 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I probably won't be able to do the 5th. I already abused my babysitter (my mom) for an overnight trip last week. Hope you guys have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
