You are responsible for your own safety. Always ride within your limits. Do NOT assume that any of the information on this site is correct. Road conditions can change overnight. Riding a motorcyle is a dangerous activity. You can be severely injured or killed. Many of the roads described are in remote areas, far from medical help. Do not assume your cell phone will work. A crash in a remote area could have serious consequences, so take it easy and RIDE SAFELY.

Common road hazards include, but are not limited to:

• Gravel - beware of gravel washing down from steep hillsides and driveways after a storm.
• Mud - construction vehicles, farm tractors, and logging trucks drag mud onto the roads from side roads/driveways.
• Debris - all manner of crap lands in the road from leaves and branches, to stuff that falls off trucks

• Potholes/heaves - the freeze/thaw nature of the winter can wreak havoc on the asphalt.
• Roadkill - the road can be littered with carcasses of animals that didn't quite make it. Some can be large (i.e. deer)
• Deer - be careful when riding in the early morning and early evening. A wildly unpredictable, live road hazard.
• Unmarked corners - most, but not all, tight corners are marked with a sign. Beware the decreasing radius turn.
• Blind corners - many corners are blind due to vegetation and/or hills.
• Blind rollers - the undulating nature of the terrain creates blind rises, especially in Ohio.
• Hidden driveways - it's not uncommon to have driveways or intersections near the (blind) exit of a turn.
• Slow moving traffic - be prepared for farm or construction vehicles moving WAY under the speed limit.
• Other Vehicles - may cross the center line on tight turns, or take their half out of the middle on narrow roads.
