| Just over 153 miles today with a friend riding his T Max me on the S'Wing. We rode west from Chillicothe along Paint creek, then around the general area ending up near Washington Court House o-HI-o then back to Circleville and on to home. Great day perfect weather. |

| Sounds like a good ride. Not to hot not to cold is always a good day to ride. Weather has been better this summer compared to last one at least up here in PA.
Ride On. |

| Is there a large Amish population in your area? Many up her in PA. Horse and buggies are common along with horse road hazards. That brown stuff. I slow down and give them lots of space when passing.
Good lunch. I always seem to stop at the same spots for food. 125 miles just for lunch is worth it. Just an excuse to ride. |

| I wouldn't call it large but we do have have a few family farms locally,Holmes county has the largest population. One family just purchased the farm across the road from us,as they operate gas powered farm equipment I'd say the were not of the strict order, maybe Mennonite? The brown stuff Amish road exhaust, when they have a Sunday church gathering you can follow the path of wheel tracks and exhaust to the chosen home. |

| I agree. Any ride in Southern Ohio is great and hasn't these last days of August 2019 been great all the way around.
I did a circle from Lake Kiser to Annie Oakley and Maid Rite (unreal meat sandwiches) in Greenville to Oxford by way of Hueston Woods State Park then home to Enon. 178 miles (https://goo.gl/maps/VsxveDeCwMDBvLv47) |

| Looks like it's not that far to WV. SE OHIO should have some hills and good roads. A lot of OHIO is so flat but I've heard SE is good . Ride On. Rode 120 today just relaxing Holiday traffic was heavy. |
