oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have had numerous people tell me about a county road 55 between urbana and springfeild.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 no, supposidly there is a county road 55. The county numbers all the roads if they have a name or not.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 good roads? Nah mediocre roads ,yes, quite a few, but nothing consistent. Biggest problem is you will have a halfway fun road, and it will be 20 miles to get to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 After doing a search, the ohio engineers list County HWY 55 on the south East side of Bellfountain as the only county rd 55 near Clark County. it doesn't look that great. Try Storm creek Rd between Terre Haunt off Hwy55 and Upper valley rd. Also try rt 56 North of I70 near London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Storm creek is a fun, but yet again short little road... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Storm creek is a fun, but yet again short little road...Yeah, sorry. Welcome to western Ohio. rt56 is a little longer and adds another dimension to the ride, "Verticle" Changes vs just left or right. Arbuckle Rd off of 40 in Lafaytte has some nice corners, but bring your suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbuckle Rd off of 40 in Lafaytte has some nice corners, but bring your suspension.True, 56 will tighten your butthole if you're not ready for a few of those drops.There's another short road outside of Cedarville, south of 42 a few miles off of Cedarville...Lackey to S Charleston is how I go...It's alright, has one open stretch to wind the bike out and hold it for as long as you feel necessary. Then a decent road until you get into S Charleston...But then you're getting into Central OH a bit...Leatherwood Creek Road NE of Piqua is a neat short road with some cool sweepers...

Arbuckle Rd off of 40 in Lafaytte has some nice corners, but bring your suspension. if your from that area then try 56 till it dead ends into 29. country roads are filled with gravel and narrow roads. plus a real bug attraction to your bike and helmet. u can hear them hit of ya. Ludlow rd is a real good road and keep in mind all these state route's any state highway or sherriff patrol these roads so be safe and above all be smart.

I have to take 56 to go almost anywhere. Ludlow is cool and so are Bringer and Near. But like I said this is western Ohio. Nothing around here compares to the roads to the South and East. But sometimes you have to work with what you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thGix Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Whats up everyone! My bike is in my avatar, im from Troy, looking for fun rides and new people to ride with. Here area some of the roads i hit when out for a quick ride local ride.1. Up Polecat down Deweese turn around and do it again (very short)2. St. Rt. 29 from Kiser Lake to Sidney is a pretty good road if you are willing to do some law breakin "speeding". I'm not talkin 100+ but a good pace. (not to long 10mi. maybe)3. Fenner Rd. west of St. Rt. 48 then right on Rangeline to St. Rt. 189 i think it is. (short)4. My local favorite is: South on Peters Rd. leaving troy to left on Tipp Cowelsville to 25A and turn right. Then left on road by Circle K. Follow into Tipp City then South on Canal Rd. through Tipp. (20 minutes)5. North on Childrens Home Rd from St. Rt. 41. Go through stop on Lefevere and turn right on Leedes i think it is. Its the road on right on the last left hander on Childrens home road. The road off childrens homes has i think 4 90 degree turns in a row but be careful they are usually dirty with gravel! (very short)If you guys from troy or in the area are gettin together drop me a line and i will see about breakin out of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
