I've seen a few comments of this road on another site that people don't especially consider this road note worthy. Then I've been trapped behind, what I can only imagine as, these people riding the road so slowly, due to it's blind hills. The blind hills, twisties, sweepers and yes even blind hills during a twisty turn or a sweeper are what make this road so much for to ride fast or fairly fast. The unexpected of what's down the road is great. This road was named this way by my friend just because of that. That said, I really like this road and try to work it into all of my Wayne's runs.

Update from Ohio’s Road Ranger (July 30th, 2020): As of June 2020 this road is in good condition for pretty much the entire length. As usual, check www.OHGO.com for info on any pop-up construction.

Been on 145 a couple times past few years. Rode it Labor Day weekend 2020 from Lower Salem to Beallsville. Had open road in front of us almost the whole time. More of rollercoaster on north end. Pavement was good. It's a twisty, hilly, fun ride! Check it out!
