Fatbikez Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 If you ever went to ' The Wilds ' near zanesville you might have noticed how isolated and how great the roads are around there. We ll I jumped on the CBR and headed out that way yesterday. Its OH- !45 from Zanesville to OH- 284 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Zanesville,+Ohio&daddr=39.910785,-81.866525+to:bristol+ohio&hl=en&geocode=%3BFYH9YAId49Ae-ymNbvv71-k3iDEgfXAZH6AaEw%3B&mra=ls&sll=39.715638,-81.780853&sspn=0.066947,0.181789&ie=UTF8&ll=39.842813,-81.761627&spn=0.066824,0.181789&t=h&z=13&via=1its not to bad at all. roads are pretty clean, got tight corners and there is hardly any traffic . ill prob go back again on saturday and take 83 south from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Looks like a good way to get to 78. Have been wanting to ride 78 East to the river and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I've been to The Wilds, and I had forgotten how the roads were out that way! Now I need to do both, ride the roads out there, and go to The Wilds. Gee, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneRanger Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've run that from 78 to Zanesville. Nice stretch of road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnor Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I take 146 to 78 all of the time to get to Woodsfield....The farther east of Zanesville you get, the better it is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Went to college there, 146 is solid, but if you want a great road, with great pavement, go into New Concord and head directly north on 83. It is probably 1 of the best roads around Ohio all in all.Also yes, the Wilds is badass, like a Safari but in Ohio lol. And there are TONNNNS of roads out there and all around to ride. The one we used to take to Formal had so many turns, blind sweepers, reverse up hills, etc. naturally this is why I threw up several times after leaving Formal on hte trips back to the house.Next season Im def. heading out that way.
