gl1200 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Welcome to the site , almost anything in this area is not bad if you stay away from the 4 lanes , just a few miles north of Athens and go west into Hocking Hills all kinds of good roads , going east I like to ride 550 when going to Marietta , not bad , smoother ride going East than West bound though .

APCh8r Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Are you living with shawn clark? If so I am nick, I met you the other day, I live next door too you. Casper was right that I am down here, however I am not in med school, I am the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. Hocking Hills will be your best bet for roads.

steveGSXR750 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hey i live in a town about 35 miles southeast of athens called Belpre. There are some great roads down here. My personal favorite is co rd 26 in Marietta and then 555 Starting in Little Hocking. Let me know if you want to meet up and hit some backroads.

drc32-0 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) They should be done with the bridge work on freshly paved 356 by this weekend.Link 356 with 691 and you'll have a good ride just 10 miles west of Athens.You can pick up 691 from 33,or pick up 356 from 50.They link together with a one or two mile section of 56.A couple other roads are pretty good just east of Athens...690 and 144. All of these roads are only about ten to fifteen miles out of Athens,if you're looking for longer rides,there are dozens of great roads within 50 miles of Athens.

I hardly know the area but i def know what and where you're talkin about. I actually drove through 50 and it wasn't bad, but the road condition didnt seem the best. Im not 100% sure though since i wasnt riding. But i'll def check out those roads/areas when i get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
