JohnG Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just a quick update about a nice little side trip I took yesterday. I was working in Athens near the Plains and decided, at the end of the day, to take a different route home instead of slab 33 all the way back to Columbus. Really liked the stretch of 56 I was on. Some gravel in the center of the lane but only in a very few spots and nothing truly hazardous. I turned at the detour signs onto 374 and buzzed through tourist land. Wasn't as bad as it is on the weekends, but still some folks that needed passed. 664 was decent enough, the road is clean and even. However, I always seem to meet up with an oversize vehicle or someone pulling a trailer at the serious 15 mph turn near the Jehovahs hall near Lake Logan. That was a pucker moment but the Buell handled it nicely. I would have liked to be a little more frisky through the area but I was wearing dockers. Had all the other gear, just no leg protection. Just an fyi... https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Larry's+Dawg+House,+410+W+Union+St,+Athens,+OH+45701,+United+States/39.3367817,-82.2396643/39.3940104,-82.5396479/39.4396121,-82.5306544/39.5381567,-82.4424656/@39.4510301,-82.2954464,11z/data=!4m17!4m16!1m5!1m1!1s0x8848738f1c12ab59:0xac5e7784f25bdcb4!2m2!1d-82.1206572!2d39.3310921!1m0!1m0!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-82.52783!2d39.4404305!3s0x8847eaf1cca8d0d9:0x277bdfb60e83a73f!1m0!3e0?hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Looks like you missed the best part of 56. East of 374 to South Bloomingville. We do that route quite a bit. Then 664 north, then 374 all the way back to 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah, time constraints and all. Just glad to get what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck78 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I believe there is a bridge out or some other road problem on the good stretch, as I have heard numerous complaints of road closed or detour signs. After the monsoon season, there are three bridges over creeks in that low lying stretch of the best of 56, so something happened in that time.
