Written Directions

Not too hard to find. Just south of Zanesville, OH is the very small town of Brush Creek, OH. Just get yourself to Brush Creek and head south on route 555 for about 30 miles till you get to the end point of Chesterhill, OH.

Scenery

Beautiful isolated farms with rolling hills. You'll be driving next to and through some of the Wayne National Forest.

Drive Enjoyment

Lots of very challenging twisties. Roads line the crests of rolling hills ... an amusement park for sport and sport touring bikes. NOT a novice road. One should attempt this road with extreme concentration. Road conditions are fast with little traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

Isolated. You're there for one thing - to ride.

Contrary to the original poster's statement about 555 being only 30 miles long, it extends much further south than he indicates - it goes all the way to 124 along the Ohio River. There is some good stuff on that southern end. Great road! Road it 3 times last week. Blind hills are a bit freaky - hard for a flat lander like me to get used to! We found very little gravel - but there was some. Light traffic. It is a challenging road to ride briskly. FUN FUN FUN!

Wife and I ran Rt 555 down into Bartlett then we picked up 550 and ran that into Athens. Rt 555 had some patch work and was kinda rough in places. Beware of gravel as well. Nice sunny day on a Saturday and there wasn't a lot of traffic, which made it GREAT. Very fun ride. Wish it was a little warmer though. Over all great route. Gave a rating of 4 because of the patch work. Rt 550 was nice as well into Athens, little faster. Still had some curves but they were long curves. Highly suggested.
