The best thing about living in central Ohio is that you’re never more than an hour from some great riding. I took advantage of this geographic blessing and set out to the southeast. I hit SR180 and kept taking turns until I was lost in the midst of the forest.

 

Side note- this time of year the roads are still gritty from the sand mixture used for traction in the winter. Watch your corners and know what you’re riding into.

 

I ended up up down in Vinton County on an absolutely gorgeous day.  Rode 327 miles and made some new friends along the way. Stopping to chat with people is one of my favorite things to do on a bike. It’s a great community if people.
