I believe, typically, the "Ohio Tail" is referring to route 555 in SE Ohio. Ridden it a few times. Great ride. Always scratches the itch when cabin fever sets in.

Thanks for posting the route fffffish...

I ride from MD to Columbus, OH periodically to visit my brother. You just gave me a good reason to detour!!! (oh yeah, AND to visit him a little more often haha)

536 is Ohio's Dragontail. Its far more difficult a ride compared to 555, very reminiscent of Tn/NC's Dragontail.

Either are good rides, but 555 is much longer, 536 far more dangerous. Like the Dragontail down south you cannot look around while riding or you will get hurt.
