A couple routing questions in OH/WV...
« on: Yesterday at 07:38:42 AM »
In Ohio and WV:
So if a guy were to take 555 south to the Ohio river, where would you go next?  You would end up just west of Belpre, OH.  I'm thinking/planning routes

From there, all the good riding is to the NE. (If you're staying in Ohio).

You can find good roads pretty much anywhere East of RT 33 and South of I70.

  One year from Belpre, we ran US50 east to Rt16 south all the way to Hawks Nest.   Need to make a return trip on Rt16 again it was just a blast!

As Madjack says, depends where you want to go. Lots of good choices.

If you want to stay in that area, go back north to Marietta and ride 26 north, 255 over to the river and then 536 back to 78 and ride 78 west awhile. Really, anything in the triangle between I-70, I-77 and the Ohio River is good.

If you want to go east through W.Va., I usually take 47 east out of the Parkersburg area, then maybe ride 16 south to US 33 east, which is good through Glenville. Got lots a kin from that area. My favorites are US 250 and US 33 over in the Seneca Rocks area. But none of those roads are exactly secrets.

Tell us how much time you've got and where you want to end up and we could give more specific recommendations.
