Howabusa Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I believe that I will make a run down 555 tomorrow. I usually ride the whole thing. I haven’t rode it this year. It’s one of my favorites. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 @Skinny guy, Jason and I rode 555 last week. It had been a while. Took it all the way to 7 and then sat in construction traffic for 20 minutes. Do yourself the favor and double back once you hit the bottom.

Mr.Gym10 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I live, basically, right along 555 in Muskingum county. After the big storm the other night, between Zanesville & 669, there was a little gravel washed onto the road but it seems to be mostly gone now.

ReconRat Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 lol, 555 isn't historically a road, it's the descendant of a wagon trail built of logs that ran from Zanesville to the Ohio River. Speed limit was probably single digit. I still like it, but don't believe any of the signage that's there. Multiple signs in a turn means "everyone wrecks here anyway" and is not likely a normal turn in a road. Think horses and wagons... I was also impressed by some of the blind turns in the road where you couldn't see it, after topping over a rise you didn't know was there. One in particular (North-bound) would have launched from the peak in the road and over the top of a house trailer and off down into a meadow valley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think homeowners are required to carry flying motorcycle insurance on any structure within 50' of the road. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I did ride it Friday, start to finish. Overall it was pretty clean. The section south Ringgold is wonderful with the fresh pavement. I took 144 back to 329, hit 377 and 78 west through Glouster. 340 miles for the day. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I prefer 78 over 555. Too many blinds as previously mentioned on 555. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little fog early but going to do the same route but 78E out of Glouster to Ringold and then the same loop back to the Hock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
