Athens is located in the Appalachian foothills and is an excellent
starting point for day or weekend trips by motorcycle. There are numerous
and well paved state routes to nearby State parks, especially in the
Hocking Hills region. If you prefer the city for a day-trip,
Cincinnati is 110 miles away and Pittsburgh is located 240 miles from Athens.
There is also excellent riding to be found in the mountains of West Virginia
and in Western Pennsylvania.
My current ride, pictured at left, is a Honda VFR800 with GIVI bags.
Latest car project is a 1983 Porsche 944 (the poor man's Porsche) with ~100,000 miles. Running well so far!!
