Written Directions

Not too hard to find. Just south of Zanesville, OH is the very small town of Brush Creek, OH. Just get yourself to Brush Creek and head south on route 555 for about 30 miles till you get to the end point of Chesterhill, OH.

Scenery

Beautiful isolated farms with rolling hills. You'll be driving next to and through some of the Wayne National Forest.

Drive Enjoyment

Lots of very challenging twisties. Roads line the crests of rolling hills ... an amusement park for sport and sport touring bikes. NOT a novice road. One should attempt this road with extreme concentration. Road conditions are fast with little traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

Isolated. You're there for one thing - to ride.

The Triple Nickel is a nice ride, but the road conditions and blind corners can make it a treacherous. Traffic can come out of nowhere at hidden roads, and large patches of the road surface are heavily potholed - you really have to be on the top of your game while riding.

Also, be aware there is really only one place to stop for fuel / food on the route. So if you see a gas station - STOP.

I heard some guy talking this route up. I ran it in 100 degree temperatures on a 183,000 mile Harley. The road condition had patches instead of complete sections being replaced. It's closed on the northern section. I ran it from Belpre off of Rt 7 to the detour which was about half way up and the easier section. All except for 3 **** sport bike guys who got right up on me, (which was not very professional or NICE) and outrages me to the point that i pulled over to let them go the last few miles before the detour. So whoever they were they ruined it for me. 3 jerks in 30 something miles and only 2 other Harleys had i seen on it . So all you so-called sport bike guys ( all motorcycles are sport machines) DO NOT tail gate a heavier well riden 183,000 PLUS Harley on the ohio Nickle ! You are not racers boys why don't take a track day if you can ride right up on a 600-650 lbs harley?

One of the best rides in the state, just hope that you don't get stuck behind some jerk on a cruiser making all kinds of noise and going 25mph the whole way, because there aren't a lot of opportunities to pass safely.
