OH 235 - McComb to Dayton

Average Rating - This road has been rated by 7 visitors

State: Ohio
Date Submitted: October 1, 2006
Submitted by: Wingmaster
Motorcycle Road Length: 100 Miles

Written Directions

This route is really easy to describe and follow. Just get yourself to McComb, OH and take OH 235 due south all the way to the route's end point of Dayton, OH.

Scenery

Scenery is pretty late spring to early fall. Sunsets during harvest catch the dust in the air and make for some blazing orange evenings.

Road Quality

Mostly under-used pavement and recently re-paved sections keep things smooth. Keep an eye out for the "bear" (police speed trap) between McComb and Ada. Also, please keep an eye out for slow moving farm machinery all summer and fall. Remember, they live and work here, and a lot of wet spots are where former riders finally tasted the John Deere green paint...

Roadside Amenities

Not a whole lot of places to stay or eat. Indian Lake State park is along the way and offers boating, fishing, camping, and picnicking. I suggest you take lunch in when you get to Ada.

Comment: This road is your typical country road; very pretty to look at and not too exciting to ride. BE SURE TO STOP AT INDIAN LAKE! Froggy's has good food...cheap and a swim-up bar for great sights or to hang out for a while. We jumped off at Rt33 and headed to Columbus. Iron Pony superstore in Westerville is worth the trip from anywhere within a 3hr radius.

Comment: If you ride this route, take some time to spend around Indian Lake. There are a ton of small watering holes; Acheson's, Froggy's, Tilton Hilton, Brother's, Lakeside, Cranberry's, etc., where you can get some great food! Several regional riders consider Indian Lake a ride in itself as you can cruise the lake stopping and visiting along the way. There is a covered bridge if you take SR 366 south of the lake and Co Rd. 38 N. about a 1/4 mile.

Comment: You can start on 235 all the way up on Rt. 65 near the Maumee River and travel to Macomb from there. I suppose it's my Ohio upbringing, but the peaceful Ohio farm land is soothing to the soul.

Comment: It's a great route if corn, soybeans, flat, straight roads are your thing. If you do run this route, try to get into Fairborn before 3:00 and hit Foy's diner. You wont be disappointed.

Comment: Rt 235 does not actually go to Dayton. Just south of I-70 After you merge with Rt 4 you exit to the right on Chambersburg Rd. Turn left at traffic light to continue on 235 through Fairborn, Ohio. Rt 235 ends when you reach Rt 68 just north of Xenia, Ohio
