Ohio Backroad Cruise

[mello dude]

While I do have the cross country itch that I will fill at some point, most of my riding has been ez cruising Ohio backroads, 80- 100 miles in a shot. (VFRs down for maintenance)
A favorite.. lazy cruise on the Valkyrie.... The best stuff, I can go miles under a canopy of backroad trees...

Passing some farmland...

I dont even know the names of the roads....
Area around - Belbrook, SugarCreek, Waynesville, CeasarsCreek, Lebanon, Corwin, Fort Ancient, Morrow, Cowin Lake,..350E to Hillsboro...
Plenty of cruise roads out that way....and nasty twists if you get a wild hair...

123, 350, and 22, are around FT Ancient/ Morrow. 123 from Morrow over to Blanchester. 247 south from Hillsboro all the way to 52 is great. 41 south from Bainbridge (just east of Hillsboro on 50) is great all the way to 52 is great. 125 east from Georgetown to 52. From Portsmouth 73 to 348 at Otway to 125 to West Union. All great sw Oh roads

You got it... had a brain fart, couldnt think of all that.... That stretch of 350 going west down in the valley past Ft Ancient is one of the meanest 2 mile pavement, love it!
On the Valk, I try to stick to the secondary local roads in between the state routes... vs.. the VFR, I'm usually cranking it pretty good on the state routes..Goes with my thing... one to go slow and one to go fast!
Love this stuff, essentially local for me...
