Comments: If you want to experience OH 555, this is the route for you. Heads west on OH 550, south on OH 555, west to OH 144, 550, & 377. At Chesterhill you are back on OH 550 almost to Zanesville, OH. From there it's south on OH 60, 377 back to Chesterhill for lunch. Part 2 of the route takes you another 87 miles in a loop that includes parts of OH 329, 78, 376 & 676. It's a pretty demanding route, although it's easy to shortcut back to Marietta from Chesterhill after lunch.
Ed Conde of New England Riders is a nationally recognized motorcycling routemaster and his Basecamp training tutorials are the best anywhere. In 2022, he did a group trip to Marietta and created some excellent routes for it. Ed has his own perspective on the southwest Ohio area, so I thought it would be fun to honor him and include a couple of his routes in the FlyBy Week collection.
