jaybird Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I found a great ride: Directions, Go to Stoutsville, Ohio to Stoutsville -Oakland Rd, to Rt. 159 turn left at Julian Rd keep going into Hocking Co. on Buna-Vistia Rd, keep on that road until you come to Rt. 33, turn right on 33, on down and turn right on Rt. 374. You can also go to the Hocking Hills Market across from Rt 374, a small MC shop there. Go on up the road and come to a stop aand then decide which way you want to go,either to old mans cave or Laurelville. The ride is twisty and very good roads. About 70 mile round trip from Stoutsville.Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks! I've heard of this 'Hocking' area. I'll have to check it out someday. I'm checking it out on Google Maps right now. It seems to be...route 33 South and go right at 374. That 374 looks nice and curvy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeNko Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 374 is the best road i know of close to cbus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drc32-0 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) jaybird...you just scratched the surface in the Hocking Hills.The section of 374 you posted is one of the best,but there is a lot of great roads in H.H...Big Pine Rd,Kreashbaum,Illsboro-Ceder Falls,Harble-Griffith,SR56,Chapel Hill,Thompson Ridge,SR69?.Also,check out Clearcreek rd just west(or north) of SR374 on SR33,just look for the Clearcreek metro park signs.It's just a decent road,but it has some good scenery,and if you come in from SR33 there's a BIG rock that will definitely get your attention.

20thGix Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 i was thinking of going down there this weekend. then taking 78 over to 555 down to the river. 78-555 may be a bit ambitious in a day coming from Troy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 374 Has some loose gravel laying around on 1/3 of the turns where they just put down some new asphalt. Big Pine is fine but still some loose gravel here and there as well.Definitely a good route.56 is a blast.664 to 374 to 56 and around is always fun.

badazzbuckeye Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 This is the first time I read this, but I accidentaly found 374 and clear creek metro park today. Good ass ride. Kinda interesting on a Goldwing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfz Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Clear Creek is terrible. You have to work really hard to miss those gigantic pot holes. In a couple of spots there is nothing you can do. Stand up on the pegs, grin and bear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 T bone and I hit 374 and 180 today. It was a beautiful fresh clean road. Turned off and went by Lake Logan and ate at Millstone BBQ. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badazzbuckeye Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yea, I was going to check out Lake Logan , But somehow missed the sign. The G/F said she saw it, but I must have looked somewhere else at that time. I know that there was a bunch of bikes out that way today. I saw all kinds of ppl riding together. We just jumped on the Goldwing and ended up in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 ^ I think you passed us. We were taking a break on 664 just north of Big Pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badazzbuckeye Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's possible. We were out there around 5 to 7 last night. Hell there was alot of people riding. I was impressed to see so many riders cruising around out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 ^^^ 669 is great right now,but he posted that on 7/7/10...I don't think he's heading here this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get to 278 turn left to get to rt33 (then back home thru Columbus) or right and go past Zeleski to reach 50. Turn right on 50 and it takes you to 35 back to Dayton, then us 68 or 75 to get home. Short little trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
