Written Directions

About 60 miles southeast of Columbus, you'll find Burr Oak State Park (near Glouster Ohio). Start at Burr Oak State Park and take Rt 78-NE to McConnelsville. From there take Rt-60 southeast to Marietta. In Marietta, pick-up Rt-550 west to Athens. In Athens, get on Rt-13 north and take this back to Burr Oak State Park.

Scenery

Great southern Ohio route with scenery that ranges from dairy farms, rolling hills, river crossings, and dense forests. A Fall run would be incredible!!! Great stops in historic small towns with much history and very well kept. Midway point is Marietta - incredibly scenic town along the Ohio River (perfect lunch stop).

Drive Enjoyment

Road quality is excellent - much of the roads have been recently re-surfaced. Lots of rolling hills with gradual twists and turns. Mostly state routes - not much traffic during weekdays. Be careful, some of the twists and turns come over the hilltop peaks with some blind spots - great for kick-starting the ole pumper.

Tourism Opportunities

Very good roadside amenities. Many nice towns - will take you back to an era gone by. Enough small roadside rest stops to tap the kidney and loosen the legs (as well as take pictures). Most likely, you'll meet other bikers on the way.

664 is a great road as well. Just be careful because there are ALOT of tourist down that way during the weekend(s). Old Mans Cave, Ash Cave and so on, are down that way. Definately worth checking out!
I haven't taken this route or rode any of these roads in a year or so. The last time I remember there being some "sand" spots every so often. Hopefully the roads have cleaned up since I last went. I plan on taking this trip quite a few times this Spring/Summer.

Have not rode it as a loop, but been on all the roads, As stated your not in Wayne's Forest, but still a decent enough ride, Those who like to cruise & tour along will like it more than those who like to play in the twisties.
