Written Directions

Really easy to describe ... in south eastern Ohio, just take state route 78 between Glouster and McConnelsville.

Scenery

Southern Ohio at it's finest ... tight twisty roads with a boatload of elevation changes. After McConnelsville it opens up to more of a fast sweeping road and tightens again. Its a real blast, enjoy. I have never seen a law enforcement type on this road, but be careful it is rural and there can be farm equipment out there as well as wild life.

Drive Enjoyment

Recently repaved in Morgan county. As mentioned above ... this road is a GREAT collection of twisties with elevation changes. All of 78 is kick @#&* but this section was recently repaved summer of 2005!!!

Tourism Opportunities

Both Burr Oak state park and Wayne National Forest are located on this route.

Well worth the trip. Rode with 7 other bikes and we were able to keep a tight formation. Good road conditions and lots of places to stop and review your ride

Rode in July 2019, one of our group broke down on 555 and we had to head to Athens on 78, nice long sweepers, and pushing my 650 to keep up to the Victory and FJR bike in the group.
