Welcome to Ohio Backroad…

The great state of Ohio has a wealth of roads well suited for the motorcycle rider. This site is in no way the definitive word on riding Ohio, but simply my lifetime experiences of riding here.

My goal is to help riders find an interesting & challenging road for their next ride. With so many great rides to be found, some of the info will no doubt become dated, so I have include the date last ridden and the road conditions at that time.
