Rt.536 The Dragon's Tail of Ohio

[JBWalker]

Rt.536 The Dragon's Tail of Ohio: voted #1 mc road in Ohio by sportbike riders.

located in Monroe Co. near woodsfield, OH. off Rt.78. Rt.536 is 11.5 mi. long. and is in good condtion, light to no traffic, no semi-trucks allowed. 536 has so many twisties and hills that it will make your arms tired. at moderate to high speeds this road can be a challenge. check it out only if you dare.

I might have to check that one.

Huh, just googled it

Looks worth the trip

[Harb67]

Looks epic but it's quite a trek out there. I'd be up for a ride out there as long as there were a good deal more twisties involved in the ride...one 11.5 mile road is not worth a 2 hour trip :\

[Uncle Punk]

Anyone remember voting for this road?

Looks like fun. Definitely intended for more sportbikes than anything. I don't see a goldwing trying to slam through that at 40-50 lol.

[obesityrules]

so whats going on this weekend? anyone from columbus want to check it out?

[InyaAzz]

Need MOAR road!

Looks like a good road, might have to make a trip.

[xtremef4i]

Looks like fun. After looking at Google map, ALL the roads in that area are twisty as hell!

[siggywiggy]

doesn anyone know how good rt 800 is. I may plan a trip down to 78 but would be taking rt 250 to rt800 all the way down.

There are a few decreasing radius turns on 536 that are notorious for eating bikes. I've seen several bikes down and some unintentional off-roading. It's a fun route, but better to take it EASY the first few times you ride it.

I'll be heading that way on Saturday.

I haven't been there but I ride out in Adams county , a little south of there, and the portsmouth area and the twisties are endless !!

[Kosmo]

madmax and me did it last year both ways....was indeed good and enjoyed it a lot but well many of the Coshocton roads are comparable. Mostly clean from gravels....

here are the pics

you haven't John who rides with us in CSBA..

Rusty / Tomato Racing if you are around please comment!.

i want to ride 800 this year as well, but will miss the CSBA ride to 536 next week. I'll check that out later in the season.

BTW - Goldwings handle great for a big bike. ^^^John (referred to above) has a 1800 that take 555 down with no problems so dont sleep on those road coachs. :-)

[siggywiggy]

i may try to gather some of my buds and ride down early saturday morning from mansfield and make a day of it.

536 is a good road, as mentioned but be careful first time out. A few turns that will surprise the living shit out of you, so don't barrel through it blind.

A lot of houses that mow their clippings into the roads on the corners, too. The best way to ride it, given its short length is to ride it one way kind of moderate and take note of the issues then turn and go more aggressive.

Lots of good roads out that way, 536 is but one of many. Hop across the river and there's even more.

Looks sweet! You guys really need to check out the N KY ride that the junkies do on sundays! best ride ive ever been on!

[Earache]

I might have to check that one.

How's about on Saturday, June 13th? Huh? whaddya say?

[kawi kid]

mmmmm........... i need to take a trip now i guess

[Lost1888]

Must go fulfill curiosity!

Must ride road, Must ride road soon, Must ride road.

I also need to work in 78 up to Burr Oak Lake and 800 on the same day.

Maybe something like this?

If you think 536 is good......try 255. It runs from Sardis (RT7) to 800, longer than 536, and IMO way better. That area in Ohio is where I ride all of the time.... Try RT146 from Zanesville, then 78 into Woodsfield, from Woodsfield all roads are good !!!
