Some favorite rides in Ohio
2010 - Mohican State Park Loop - This would make a good fall colors ride through Mohican State park OH. Goes to both the Landoll's Mohican Castle (really cool) and the Mohican Lodge. Plus also goes to a gorge overlook. Can download both GPS files in either garmin file format or GPX format.
2010 - Logan to Jim Bo's (Fall Colors) - not ridden yet but looks good.
2010 - Hillsboro Loop (Fall colors) - 2010 Ohio VTX Fall Colors Ride.

Nice little 144 mile loop. Takes you on 2 of the best roads in Ohio.
Rt 664 and Rt 56. 1st part of trip is rather straight. But the rest

Nice Trip from Quaker Steak & Lube and back:
We did this on a poker run for
"The deafs Kid Teen Club", April 17th , 2004. Nice ride. Don't have
to follow it to the "T" which is with all routes. But I would go up Rt.
257 or come back that way. Ride it in either direction would be a good
ride. We did stop in Waldo to try one of those famous Baloney sandwiches.
I would recommend them.
Total trip 108 miles, eta 3 hours.

555 Loop : Known as the triple nickel - lots of nice twisty's This route is about 180 miles, time is about 4hr 18 minutes this includes a 20 minute break every 1hr. So reducing the number breaks and lengh can change the time to do the trip. Also this is at Legal speeds. Note the Rd needs a lot of repairs last time I road it.
