Unk Greg Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Poking around on the back roads here in Amish country I noticed a few "Historical" markers - Ohio's first sate road. Looks like it runs from Millersburg to Port Washington (US36) using predominately county roads.Beemer boys are interested in ferretting out the route-we'll follow the signs. Not sure if gravel roads will be there-we'll detour around...you adventure bikes can have at it.No date set as yet....anyone here interested sing out and we'll close on the date. Some points of interest will be the scenic ridges and Baltic (Hoo-Hah!). I think it uses 651 and 93 -both very nice roads on there on. So looks like, Holmes, Kerschocton and Tusc Counties for route.

ironbuttwannabe Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I rode it both ways in an evening last year to get a tag. Fun road.This is what a lot of the roads look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood3586 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 whats the road like that tar and gravel stuff? or just loose gravel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbuttwannabe Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 when I was on it last year it was mostly dirt and loose gravel. Some of it is main roads now. I really pitty those horses pulling cargo to the water, the roads are not very flat in some places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unk Greg Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Just out poking around and ran into gravel roads three places, but able to scoot around on pavement and appear back on route. Only went from Mlbg to old SR21 at N.Philly (Crooked Run Rd). Nice tour, but NOW...I'm suddenly employed! Long story, but stopped at a place and put in an app-apparently not too many applicants score a 100 on the math test-hired on the spot! Yikes, now what have I got myself into? Still a viable tour though! Dual purpose bikes can have at the original route! When I see when I'm not working...hmmm, maybe. Somebody else wanna grab this run?

Unk Greg Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Now then, I went back thru with the JEEP and tried the gravel bits, dropped off of SR651 (Coshocton/Holmes/Tusc corner) and not a thousand feet into the gravel and something thunked my transfer case...it hit hard...felt it right up thru the seat and my ass cheek is still sore...stopped and looked underneath...mus' be that clean spot on the running gear where it hit....gas gauge wasn't dumping so continued on a bit more. This is definitely dual sport route for the gravel bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Making that map wasn't easy, and I'm sure it's mostly dirt and gravel roads.There is another "first state road", 1807, called The Bullskin Road that runs from Bullskin Landing on the Ohio River to Xenia, where it becomes The Detroit Road and goes to Detroit through Urbana, Bowling Green, Toledo, etc.The Bullskin Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
