Good Driving Roads

MFG · 04-05-2008, 08:06 PM

Can anyone in the Cincinnati area post some suggestions on good driving roads?

I've tried Route 8 along the river on the KY side east of Newport - has potential, but it's not in the best state of repair.

Rt. 56 in Indiana... take the Lawrenceburg exit off 275. 56 is along the river, has a few curvy sections, and if you drive it during the weekdays traffic is minimal. You can take it all the way to Markland Dam, cross into KY and come back that way. Nice 1/2 day trip.

Bump for more suggestions.

My Cincy "drive" is a 4 mile stretch of Madison/MLK which the public works department seems to have totally forgotten with potholes the size of a child's big wheel.

Indian Hill Rd -> Old Indian Hill Rd -> 50W along the river was nice today (70 deg and the first sun since what seems like October) with the top down.

Wilder exit off of 275 in NKY. (AA Highway) Take it south and then take the first road AFTER the shell gas station on the right.

It has some WICKED turns and I always see the motorcycle guys riding it on the weekends.

Let me know if anyone goes b/c I live about a mile from there and I'd be happy to join/lead.

1. Nine Mile Rd from Kellogg Ave / Rte 52 up to Beechmont Rd. It's a bit on the residntial side, but a very twisty drive under 50 mph. Stop at Hooters and then drive it back.

2. I've driven that route Derek. It's killer back in there!
