One I really enjoy is one called the ‘cousin to the dragon’s tail. St rt 536 off of rt 78 east of Woodsfield, Oh is more of the high ridges and great scenic view. It is 12 miles from SR 78 to Rt 7 on the Ohio river at Hannibal ohio. then about 5 miles south on Rt 7 to Sardis where you hang a right onto Ohio255 and another 15 miles back to SR 800 south of Woodsfield. I think this is a better trip than the triple nickel which is a great ride also. You can come off SR255 onto 800 and catch SR 26 thru the Wayne Nat’l Forest to Marietta. Try it sometime. I now ride a trike so not quite as much fun, but safer for me. Soon to be 80. Ride safe.

I live in Zanesville. That being said I love to ride Rt. 60 south to McConnelsville along the Muskingum River. Then I’ll shoot across St.Rt.78 thru Glouster and over to Murray City. Once I get to murray city I take 216N to New Straitsville. Then I hit the best part of the trip(in my opinion)595 south to 33. It’s full of curves and a couple switchbacks. It’s not for the inexperienced rider. Mind the speed limits on this one. Once I get to Nelsonville stop at Tammy’s Country Kitchen Restaurant ยท 1333 E Canal St.
After a good meal I head south on 33 and take78 back your Glouster. Go thru town and do not turn on 78.
I then stay on 93 all the way to the 93&13 intersection. I head north on 93 back to Zanesville.
That route will satisfy the cruiser and sport bike rider. Enjoy the ride and you all be safe out yhere.

Shawnee to be exact. I have ridden all of the Windy 9. I spent my high school summers working at Burr Oak. Skip Rickets, the proprietor of Burr Oak Marinas (Dock 1 and Dock 4) is my step dad. So the Rim of the World run and the Black Diamond Run, and the Hocking Hills Nipper were in my backyard. I currently live in Kingman, Kansas where there are vey little scenic routes to enjoy. Unless you like Wheat!!. I try to get back to Ohio at least once a year and I make sure to bring my bike. It is around a 960 mile trip and I usually do it all at once. It never fails, I pull into y parents driveway. Take a quick shower. Then take off for the curvy scenic roads. For my next trip home I plan on using my Go-Pro to video my routes back home. But thanks to you I can show everyone out here why I like going home to ride. Thanks again for posting the Windy 9.
