7/24/2019 (Wednesday, afternoon). Started ride at intersection of OH37 and OH555, then rode south to Chesterhill, about 20 miles. (Stayed on 555 all the way to US50, about 43 miles, but am only reviewing to Chesterhill).
Scenery: Forest, farmland, rolling hills.
Road Conditions: The road was in fair to average condition. Rough. Many patches, cracks, degraded roadbed. A couple of really bad spots north and south of Ringgold. Bouncing in the curves is no fun.
Ride: Lots of curves and twisties. A few tight curves that could sneak up on you. A couple of blind rollercoaster hills (one has a drive just over the hill. And a few blind curves just over the hills. The slow curve highway signs may be for the 2nd curve, not the immediate one. Quite a few driveways along the route, so be prepared for someone turning in/out or moving slow. I encountered very little traffic.
Amenities: None between OH37 and Chesterhill.
Other: Rode on a 2012 Goldwing loaded down for a three week tour.
