Great road to ride. I liked SR78 east of McConnelville also. If you take it to IS77 the road is great to ride and you can stop and see the Big Muskie bucket along the way. Before you leave McConnelsville you MUST stop and Boondocks! GREAT FOOD!
Update from Ohio’s Road Ranger (July 30th, 2020): This route surface is in good shape as of June 2020.

I don't understand the title "Ohio's Dragon's Tail." If it is a reference to the Tail of the Dragon in TN/NC then this is a misnomer. This is a nice ride with elevation changes, twists and turns but nothing close to the southern "Tail." We caught this last summer after riding the triple nickle down from Zanesville. We headed West to Glouster and then backtracked to McConnelsville. I wish we got back on 555 South instead because I was a bit disappointed in 78 after reading the reviews here. If you want to ride a route that is more "Tail of the Dragon" in Ohio, take 536 and bring a clean change of underwear.

This route was great. A must to do. Roads are clear, turns signs well placed that prepares you what to expect at every turn, and plenty of good view
