Riding Ohio's Hwy 555 "The Triple Nickel" [Classic Roads POV]

This 92 mile stretch of highway in southeast Ohio connects Little Hocking with Zanesville. Hwy 555, also known as the Triple Nickel, is a roller coaster of a road! With too many curves to count, the Triple Nickel is one of the twistiest roads in the region. The curves are not for the faint of heart, as there are many blind hills which block your view. If you are riding in this area, Hwy 555 is one you don't want to miss.

I’m glad to see you rode the road the way it should be ridden! I’ve ridden it a couple of times and enjoy its challenges!

Awesome Ride!!! No need for brakes on the tar snakes! I used to travel to Bowling Green, Ohio to visit my son at the University, but I never knew about the “555”, but I just put it on my bucket list. I would like to take my cruiser there for a great ride someday, tar snakes and all!! 👍

Finally......... One of these videos that show some actual real life riding like real riders do! Twisting the throttle!

I rode out of Athens OH. For a week. I ride a 2021 can am Sea to sky rtl trike. The triple nickel is a very fun ride.

Now this looks like a fun ride for a sportier motorcycle! Loved watching this.

Sr 26 is outstanding! It is all country with a good portion by the Little Muskingum River as it ends in Marietta on the Ohio River. I would rank it with 555 maybe better.

I live about twenty miles from the southern end of Rt 555 and in my opinion there are much better motorcycle roads in the area than Rt 555. One of my favorite roads is St Rt 124 from Pomeroy to Hockingport. This road takes through some small towns like Syracure, Racine, Portant, Long Bottom (named for the long bottom fields next to the Ohio River) and Reedsville. In Reedsville the Reed's Country Store is a must stop, they use to sell everything from car tires, lawn mowers, hardware, groceries and ice cream cones. This route follows the beautiful Ohio River and there are places where you are just a few feet from the river bank. There are several barge lines which run the Ohio River and for someone who has never seen one it is a sight to be seen.
Other roads in the SE Ohio are St RT 78 from Nelsonville to McConnlesville. On this route there are some beautiful sights of the valleys below. St Rt 374 is another of my facorites. it reminds me of being in Virginia near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thompson Ridge goes from Rt 374 to Laurelville,. Just before you ride down to Laurelville there are some views of the valley below. Maybe not as good as the Blue Ridge Parkway, but still inpressive.

@42:05 is the road I live off of

Nice ride. Shame about the soundtrack.

[@nshaw-ly4yb]

What's the camera setup? It's much smoother than my old gopro

[@roadrunnermag]

This is the GoPro Hero 11 Black. Standard 4k 60fps linear +. Hypersmooth turned on. The GoPro's have come a long way over the years!
