The Triple Nickle - Route 555 - South of Chesterhill

Motorcycle Type : Other

Not a big fan of the blind hills, but still one of the best rides in Ohio. You just need to be careful and stay alert, you also has some gravel in a few of the turns. Road had a couple of very rough patched up spots just north of OH-78, other than that surface is pretty good. Port 37 Carryout has food and gas and is a must stop for Triple Nickel souvenirs. It sits about halfway between South Zanesville and Chesterhill where Ohio 555 & 37 run together. Hear Triple Nickel Diner in Chesterhill is another place to check out, one these times I'll have to stop and check it out.

Update from Ohio’s Road Ranger (July 30th, 2020): As of June 2020 this portion of 555 is in fair or better condition, with conditions improving the closer you get to OH 7.

Great ride. Nice twisties and plenty of elevation changes. Defiantly worth the trip. You can also do the ohio dragons tail since it intersects about half way through.

I try to ride this road at least once a year. I ride the whole thing from just out of Zanesville to the Ohio River. It has 751 turns in 63 miles. The Station Lounge & Grill on Joe Skinner Rd. has fresh made burgers and krinkle cut fries.

The triple nickel did not disappoint. Riding north from US 50 provided a good challenge, and partially in the rain. My biggest concern is a lot of the turns are not marked with which way it will turn or with a speed suggestion. I encountered some slick payment on a hill that turned without notice. Good ride in all, not much to see when you are always on the alert for turns. Also, there is a gas stop with food at US 37 and 555, good place to take a break in the action.
