Kent2406 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Ok, let's plan a ride on Sat. This is what I got so far. Taking suggestions, changes, and accept all forms of cash.....Meet at the Speedway in Millersburg at 8:15 and roll out at 8:30.*Update* Changed the route a little.https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=207116281520689391756.0004c5a8eb3500ea5868e&msa=0&ll=40.162083,-81.359253&spn=1.687579,3.56781 Edited July 25, 2012 by Kent2406 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 the roads 93 and 555 is not in best of its condition currently if i remember right. I was trying to plot a route up in this direction and asked help from Denny, and he pmed me this amazing list of roads. Some of these roads are newly paved and we shouldnt miss them while its good. Nivin,I've been looking at some maps and came up with a few suggestions.First off,here's a list of what I consider some of the best roads in seo...669 newly paved691 np339 np last year800 fly to 255 np last year555 7 to chesterhill260255 closed for 60 days from 7/9374 np last yearDalzell Rd(wash CR11) np 2 years ago 53037635678 ringgold to glouster147 belmont to bellaire a little roughKreashbaum Rd np,hocking hills,shortBig Pine Rd 664 to 374,hocking hillsKeeping those roads in mind and considering present pavement conditions,here are the two best routes in my opinion...Format...turn,route,direction1) From Cambridge I70 ex 178 (SR209)209 S(E)R 660 SR 313 WR 146 WL Salt Creek Dr S 2 miles from 146L 60 S less than 1 mileR across bridgeL Front st becomes old river rdold river road S L cross bridge at GaysportS 376 SR 60 N at McConnelsvilleL 78 W '' '' (cross bridge)R 669 W(N)L 555 S at deavertown a little roughR 78 W at ringgoldL 13 S at glousterR 685 WL 78 W at buchtellL 33 S(E) at nelsonvilleR 691 S '' ''R 56 W 1 mileL 356 S357 T's into 50,turn around and ride the route in reverse order.This a great route featuring 3 very twisty newly paved routes...685,669 and 691.Although they are not newly paved 356,376 and this section of 78 are excellent roads.Route 2)From Caldwell at I7778 WL 83 SL 60 SL 339 E(N) at beverlyR 821 SR 530 W at wernerL 60 S at lowellL 821 NR Dalzell Rd (CR11) E(N)L 565 WR 145 E(N)L 260 NL 78 W back to caldwellHighlights on this route include recently paved 339,extremely twisty 530 and hilltop meandering Dalzell Rd...very fun!If it wasn't for time constraints I would suggest turning right on 565 which would take you over to 260 south,537,26and 255...a great loop of it's own.The only problem with these routes is that they will be pushing your time limits when you include your time getting to the start points.The first ride is probably 5-6 hours and the second is about 2 1/2 hours...but I gaurantee they will be worth it,especially the first one.The section that puts 376,669,685,691 and 356 back to back is twisty riding nirvana!

tigerdoug Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Weather willing, I'm up for this ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) how about this route? this gives us a chance to ride, 669 and 78 which are prety much in very good condition edit: 26 was in bad condition couple of weeks back when we rode it Edited July 27, 2012 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well, it looks like a 30% chance of thunderstorms for tomorrow. Plus I really need to change front struts on my car, so I think I will do that tomorrow and ride on Sunday. Also, I think I'm pretty set on doing my route, so I'll probably just do it solo. I'm not worried about a few rough roads, just adds a little excitement to the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sorry to barge in on your plans. Since you said you were open to suggestions that why kept putting this up here. I am personally scared of them broken pavements that's why. Sorry again kent. Plus I wanted to ride 669 since its brand new pavement and every ones been praising that road. And your right good chance of rain, but nothing major it seems. Temps gonna be just 80 max which is wonderful. Will keep options of ride open until the end.

Kent2406 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hey, you know what, you are right. And after looking at your route a little better, I'm thinking that may be better for my first big ride of the season anyway. Plus, I haven't really tested the longevity in my arms strength yet. I've pretty much just ridden to and from work, so far this year.So let's keep an eye on the weather and we'll see how it looks tomorrow. What time were you thinking of meeting up? And if tomorrow is a no go, how about Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerdoug Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I was planning on doing this ride, but I got the parts needed to fix up the tiger from a crash a couple weeks ago. The only way I could do the Saturday ride is if it got pushed back. I am up for a Sunday though if that happens. I'll check back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 If riding tomorrow, which seems to be a high possibility as of now, I can be a bolivar by 8:00 am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
