I've never heard of Hocking Hills being from FL and all. A friend sent some info out as a nice long weekend trip.  I've seen some great pic's and activities but what about riding? Any of my fellow Valk brothers ridden around that area?  |

I'm going there this Summer to spend a few days in Athens and ride a series of roads called "Ohio's Windy Nine". Nine different twisty routes of almost 1000 miles. You can Google it and get a website where you can request a free map of the "9". Try this: http://athensohio.com/wheretoplay/ohios-windy-9/windy-9-request-form/ |

Just stay east of US 23 or Chillocothe and you will be rewarded. West of there and you might as well stay in Florida because the girls are much prettier. Keep you guard up for deer especially at dusk. This is also Grassman territory and they move mostly at night.

As someone said, you won't believe you're in Ohio. Lots of twisty roads, caves and rock formations. Back when we lived in Pittsburgh, Hocking Hills was one of the first trips we took on the Valkyrie. Very nice area. I was trying to find some pictures but that was pre-digital for us.

Rode the "Triple Nickel" last year on the way down to TN......
Very twisty with quite a few hills.... And a few "Belly Tinglers" LOL
There were a few times where there was a curve just over the blind peak of a hill.... slowed me down a bit after the first one.... Kinda unnerving to hit the top of a hill and see the road immediately go to your right or left and you not being ready for it in position...... definite pucker time that I had not been ready for...

https://youtu.be/0CvYC6WZmF8 Here is video shot mostly in hocking hills and S.E. Ohio. It's mostly skateboarding and biking but the roads are through the Hocking Hills park area, around Old Man's Cave HWY 664/374. Beautiful area for sure.

Back in the day Jetdriver hosted a VOAi ride in eastern Ohio on the WV border (call it an hour or so east of Columbus I think) and there were quite a few nice roads where you get to the top of a rise and ooooops where does the road go ? left right or down Made for a fun day also watch for the occasional tractor and cow poop |

It's a great place to ride. Pretty much the whole se corner of Ohio is prime motorcycle territory.
