As stated in my summary, this road isn't some slick shit killer like 536 or the freshly paved, as of July 2020, 255. It's more of an alternative to 78 E or W. I recommend coming up 536 North and then sliding onto Sykes, if you want to go East. By then you're already at the end of 536, pretty much. Pavement as of July 2020 is a 3 to 4 out of 5. There's one sudden dip in the road you can here me call out in the video. There's also 2 decent size potholes that may or may not be there when you ride this road. (I imagine they'll fill the things at some point. Those pot holes are much closer to the Ohio river side, and significant enough that you should be able to spot them well before you hit them, which is good, because God help you if you do hit them.) Overall 3.5/5

I like the ride on OH-78 from 536 to 7, so we made a little loop. Came off 556 from Beallsville, turned south onto 7, pass the BP at OH-78 & 7 intersection, like Akumu said... after crossing bridge over Sunfish Creek, hang a right onto Sykes Ridge Rd, it's marked. (It's only about 3/4 of mile south of OH-556). We ran Sykes Ridge out to 536, went up to 78 East and back to Clarington (OH-7), 18 mile 30 minute loop, Sykes Ridge is a nice cruiser with a few views over the ridge. Road isn't in great shape, but it's easily doable, especially if your just cruising along. Hardly any traffic, encountered a car or two, was just a nice laid back ride, would do it again.
