I really looking for feedback on the condition on any of these roads. looking at it now, this is most likely gonna be shortended. as of now, there will be 2 of us, and both bikes will be two up, so pace will be sane. we'll be stopping for a quick bite in roscoe village in coshocton early on.all are welcome, but again, really lookin' for some feedback on the route.thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Your map is too hard to read. Nothing north of 39 is going to be entertaining. 83 is going to have more traffic and not as nice scenery but the road won't be as challenging for two up riding so it would be safer. 60 has very little traffic, nice views for a passenger but you will need to keep you pace more in check. This is just a comparison between the two roads, I call 60 a sweeper road compared to the roads I really like.https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Ashland,+OH&daddr=Coshocton,+OH&hl=en&ll=40.570154,-82.087097&spn=1.128683,2.469177&sll=40.805494,-82.155762&sspn=1.124704,2.469177&geocode=FTybbwIdduwX-ymPkkV8TPs5iDGPJETASM4y7A%3BFY-AZgIdCOwe-yn9x1AD-KE3iDGknSXxtuz1Wg&oq=ash&mra=ls&t=m&z=9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary#17 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 60 has less traffic. Lots of new pavement especially further south. You need to watch your speed as you go through the towns especially Nashville. There has always been a cop there with somebody pulled over - usually a bike. More sweepers and straights. I find 60 less annoying than 83. 83 north of Millersburg isn't really that exciting. The nicer stuff happens when you leave Millersburg south. The traffic on 83 has become pretty annoying. Lots of dump trucks and semis. I've also found many of the other traffic to be very anti-motorcycle. I can't tell you how many times we've tried to pass cars/trucks who aren't even going the speed limit and they gun it or move over onto you. Seems to be mostly pickup trucks. Those are times I don't feel bad that I don't have my db killers in and I hope it blows their ear drums out. Mary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Def. take 60. watch out for the hair pin curves after blissfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unk Greg Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 And gravel around in the 90's after Blissfield and a bit beyond south. SR60 from Ashland to Loudonville okay....may wanna look at picking up 179 at Hayesville....following it will bring you out just above Nashville...60 & 39 run together for awhile....then too, drop down on 514 at Nashville to SR520 and left at stop sign when 520 ends at 62 onto 62 and cross bridge and there is SR60 again. Y'all problee don't wanna hear about good ole twisty CR19 and CR22 that runs the hills west of SR60 to Warsaw. At Warsaw ya pick up SR60 again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Y'all problee don't wanna hear about good ole twisty CR19 and CR22 that runs the hills west of SR60 to Warsaw. I do,I do.I've been playing on some of the good county roads in Muskingum,Hocking and Washington counties this year,so I'm always up for another good twisty county road.How's the pavement conditions? As soon as I get a new back tire on the bike I'll be up to check out CR19 and CR22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Very good looking ride inside your criteria but how much experience do you have riding two up on those types of roads? Will the passenger enjoy it? You have added some blind rises that can be scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE53ALI Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 ....hhhhmmmm..... I just made another shorter ride..... and no matter what, I wouldn't exactly be jettin' around down there.... thanks for the feedback!

Unk Greg Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry...trying to get back in....guess i hafta sit in the special chair to get reception. CR19....shameless plug is included in Fall Leafy thing. CR19 the one that runs along SR60 is tighter turns...more of a work out...so yer 45 to 50 mph there would be uhmmm, a workout. SR60 from Warsaw to Dresden very nice. SR208 is nice as well more of a cruiser kind of tour, but not meant as a slam. SR16 is boring really, but survivable. Could opt for Coshocton's CR6, not sure what rd # is where it comes out onto SR16. Only snag is a slip that was repaired with gravel section...nearer Coshocton....and coming back out onto SR16 nearer Roscoe Village. SR541 EAST...is better than 541 WEST, by that I mean east and west of Coshocton. West has the long straight ridge top section....i like turney things. CR17 runs along north of 541, and west of Roscoe Village....not too many straight sections....it will come out at Warsaw...well between Warsaw and Tunnel Hill (541)....uhmm, shoot me a PM/email....better luck with catching me on route checks.Incidentally...Knox Co. has discovered not only chip and seal, but using pea gravel ta boot.AND thanks UP....appreciate the plug.....hmmm, maybe buy one of them jaunty canvas hats and get some cargo pants and pocket vest....guide service here. :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timin8Tr Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Definately interested, probably just the bottom half of the route for me I'm from the buckeye lake area. Once I know the final route I can have a better idea. Keep this updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE53ALI Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 cool. we'll be eating in coshocton. I'll let you know when and where as soon as I can.

Leave Fri afternoon? LOL, If so I can ride along. Cuz thats the way I will be heading Fri afternoon. I have a benefit ride in Battle Creek I want to attend Sat.

I think we're eating The Warehouse. I'll be on my aprilia and there will also be a katana750 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unk Greg Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Warehouse....uhmm, Heather is my fave waitress. Patio or basement dining...upstairs is more formal.PM with times....trying to figure my time between Scooter-que in Columbus this weekend. Thinking now is could meet with you and run to Kershocton wif youse. SR60, at North end of Killbuck... they are rooting around digging at bridge at that end of Village.Depending on time....maybe backtrack to Ashland way on SR60...if that is the way you decided on. SR83 Woster area....shopping and traffic....miss it if you can. Once around here...spartan traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unk Greg Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Got the map to come up!! Hooray. Route looks good. Only concern would be the twp rds off of SR557. Twp rds tend to be rough. CR 407 is okay. Good pavement last time I was on it. Can't remember which of the twp roads gave a show of rock face by creek. It'll work. I think it took me around 40 minutes to go to Ashland from the greater Killbuck metro area, 60 to the 179 and back to 60 and College St. (Campus). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unk Greg Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Almost made it....sat at top of 179.... but battery probs...so hit it back home and same snag with back up bike. Hope your ride went okay. Another time perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
