Just a ride I have made several times that I really enjoy

My brother lives in Carmel, IN NE of INdy and I live in SW Ohio NE of Dayton. It is 1 hour 54 minutes by the I-70 race track.

But I googled directions avoiding Interstates and in 2 hour 45 range, I have about four good routes and my favorite gets me to Highway 36 and it is a wonderful drive on a scooter especially if you are a novice rider like me. There are a couple stretches that have to be 5-7 miles or greater, without a curve. Wide two lane road with low traffic.

I am looking for ward to taking Hiway 36 east trough Ohio towards Pittsburg on a ride soon.

Sometimes it takes me 45 minutes to buy a loaf of bread. I take a different route to the grocery store and I live on the same street 3 blocks away!

Just shows how different people are. I avoid roads that don't have curves, the pleasure for me is keeping a steady 50- 60 mph whilst going around curves. For me, nothing more boring than riding along a straight road for mile after mile.

You of course have to make a pilgrimage into North Yorkshire to ride those pleasurable curvy roads at a steady 50-60 mph. Because over in Lancashire it's all cobbled streets and there's nearly as many fixed 30mph speed cameras as there are lamp posts!    

Nearly right Meldrew, there are some great roads in Cheshire and Shropshire that bring a smile as well as Yorkshire.
