oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks, I'm enjoying T-Roy, only been here a year now, how far does one have to go to get to some nice riding? I know northern ky has some really nice ridestroy area, has some "ok" riding. I have about a 100 mile route(goes up around sidney and over toward new carlise, and tipp city), but this year, so far alot of the asphalt has gone to crap.

Down here too they have let some roads go to shit. Probably because of money cuts they will say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragon Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 No exact meeting place is setup for us Western Ohio Riders but NinjaNick and I plan to get something going this year.Oh, and he and I plan to meet up for a ride soon so we can give ya heads-up when that gets close too...What parts you lacking to ride?Thankyou for your service Marine!Jack A$$ Flats does bike night on Wed. outside of Huber Heights, and there is also a bike night at Wild Hogs outside of West Carrollton but I'm not sure if it's Fri or Thurs. There are a lot of good twisty roads down around Germantown that are great for riding. Germantown is just west of Miamisburg. Some long straight aways too!

oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Van, one of these days, i will certainly show you the "good routes" just as dustin showed me back when I first started riding. a lot of the pavement is in terrible shape after this winters bad ice storms, but everything still ridable, just at a much slower pace.

Or someone who would be willing to show me Yuegling is just ok once you've found home in Nashville. The best beer around is called Yazoo. It's sort of a microbrew, local to Nashville, that is some of the best beer I've ever had. They brew a high alcohol beer with a smokey aftertaste, about 8%abv. Most of their beers are at a 5-6%apv and all are amazing!www.yazoobrew.comHere's a quick map, I probably missed a few roads, but this will get you a decent ride...Though like Brandt mentioned I don't know how the road conditions are so beware.. This should keep you busy for a bit Click for map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
