600ZZ4eb Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sorry i meant to say 800 to Rt 7, that's where it ends. Was the road in pretty good shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v65rider Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I rode 78 down to 555 late last year and did run into some construction the only problem is I don't remember which section it was that had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 800 from Dennison is nice sweepy, alert but relaxed ride, have not ridden 7 thoughThe short stretch of Route 7 is a 4 lane mostly divided road along the river. There is a scenic view pull over on the East bound side between the Little hocking and Marietta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Let me know when you guys plan to ride 555 and I will try to do a run the weekend or days before and give a report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I would imagine the group would have some decency to wait up for the guys who want to ride their own ride. I know I will ride my own ride if I can make it. And if is an issue it will be the last ride I attend. But I doubt that is going to be an issue. If you have a problem with peer pressure and feel like yo have to keep up with the fastest guys in the pack and you wreck, serves you right for riding beyond your abilities. I know I will be one of the people that would be more than happy to stop and make sure your OK and do what I can to help you. I guess I just have a positive outlook on things.The loop sound like a nice ride and I look forward to making it and meeting some of you people.

ReconRat Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 This was my last long ride of 2008. 331 mi – about 11 hours 24 minsNot for the faint of heart, it gathers in most of the twisties of 555, 26, and 78.Since it crosses over itself, it can be ridden 10 different ways. 8 long routes, and two short.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=5435+Westerville+Rd,+Westerville,+OH+43081+(Iron+Pony+Motorsports)&daddr=40.087003,-82.782669+to:Lancaster+Rd%2FOH-37+to:zanesville+oh+to:Center+Rd%2FOH-555+to:OH-555%2FOH-669+to:OH-555%2FOH-669+to:OH-555+to:OH-555+to:OH-555+to:OH-555+to:redbush,+oh+to:marietta,+oh+to:OH-26+to:woodsfield,+oh+to:OH-78%2FWoodsfield+Rd+to:caldwell,+oh+to:mcconnelsville,+oh+to:new+lexington,+oh+to:OH-13+to:Lancaster+Rd%2FOH-37+to:5435+Westerville+Rd,+Westerville,+OH+43081+(Iron+Pony+Motorsports)&hl=en&geocode=%3B%3BFaAnYwIdRM8U-w%3B%3BFcDsXwIdEAAd-w%3BFT-sXgIdVpkc-w%3BFRhLXgIdsEcc-w%3BFUt5XQId5FEc-w%3BFTh9XAIdxLAc-w%3BFYALWQId7o0f-w%3BFQqDWAIdjP0f-w%3B%3B%3BFfhJXAIdNI4p-w%3B%3BFeguXwId-Oom-w%3B%3B%3B%3BFYbMXwIdXtYW-w%3BFZE4YwIdXNMU-w%3B&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=11&via=1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,13,15,19,20&dirflg=ht&sll=40.030769,-82.790222&sspn=0.379074,0.514297&ie=UTF8&ll=39.730426,-82.040405&spn=1.522922,2.05719&z=9It can also be stretched to ride it this way, to maximize route 78 past Burr Oak Lake. 367 mi – about 12 hours 39 minsso i just gave you 16 different twisty rides out of Columbus. I will be riding one of these early this year. As soon as I can.This was the first ride of last year:mostly gentle farmland and sweepers along the riversColumbus to Steubenville to Marietta to Zanesville and back to Columbus.Route 22, 7 and 60374 mi – about 9 hours 41 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 was just looking at google and see 800 from Denison to Fly or Rt 7 looked nice and twisty, but don;t know what rode looks like - any one taken this route before? its less than 100 miles i think.....I've ridden Route 7 from Stuebenville to Marietta early in 2008. Flat river road, it varies from two lane to four lane divided. Some pavement not so good. Fairly easy road. Lots of state highway patrol on parts of it.It's a sight seeing road along the river.

ReconRat Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ohio 7 = ghey. West Virgina 7 = WOOT!! Made me look... I see that, WV 7.what about WV route 2 right on the other side of the river from Ohio route 7?I could see it on the other side, and it looked like it had all the elevation changes, while the Ohio side was dirt flat.

I guess I just have a positive outlook on things.The loop sound like a nice ride and I look forward to making it and meeting some of you people.I went down to the triple nickle with a group of 10 or so people from the board last season, and I admit that I had some trouble keeping up but no one ever gave me a hard time about slowing the group up... I brought up the rear every time I went out... which I don't really mind being last, but I feel bad holding the ride up, but to the point. You don't have to worry about this no one on here will ever give you crap or leave you behind on a group ride... the rule is we all leave together and come back the same way...
