OHIO HOMECOMING LOOP

Of course, while I like having a destination, I enjoy a fun ride, too. My goal, then, over the past several years has been to find the best possible combination of county roads and state two-lanes to take me to my old West Virginia home and back. There’ s a perfectly serviceable highway, U. S. Route 33, that I could join just two blocks from my house and follow nearly all the way to my destination. Substantial quantities of federal pork barrel funds have been applied to U. S. 33 in recent years to make it straighter and wider, and to route it around small towns. This is great for folks in cars, whose only goal is transportation, but where’ s the motorcycling fun in that?
