Started in Ravenna, Ohio traveled south on SR 44 to the intersection of US 224. Turn to the west and don't vary till you reach Findlay.
Scenery
A few quaint small towns between the two larger cities. Mostly relaxed country two lane highway with more sky than land considering the terrain is mostly level.
Drive Enjoyment
Few twists and turns but enough, however, to keep your attention. The road is in good condition and the ride smooth. Overall the ride is pleasant. The challenge for pedal scrapers is NOT there but the fun of a laid back enjoyable ride runs throughout. Traffic was very light and I recalled a higher percentage of motorcycles than normal traveling. Love talking with the country townspeople.
Tourism Opportunities
Country living and relaxed dining in the small towns. Fuel stops are plenty. No blockbuster tourist traps or attractions.
There is only one reason to ride U.S. 224. It's because you have to. It's the midwest, with trucks, cops and like being in Purgatory you know it will end.

Don't waste your time. Road quality is good but a boring ride.

Boring ride. There's some dips here and there to keep you awake but this isn't really a recommended route other than to catch a better route along the way.
