There is not real, even indirect, way from Columbus to Portsmouth with quite a deviation in miles other than straight down 23, which really sin't such a bad ride. Once I had to get to Haverhill Ohio from here and I used the map to cut through instead of going down 23 through Portsmouth, and while it was beautiful terrain, it was far from direct in any way and ended up taking me about 2 1/2 - 3 hours...its about 1 hr 10 min to Portsmouth otherwise.....lol

There are still tons and tons of sand, grit and salt on the roads, especially in southeastern Ohio. I even went across a couple of places this morning where the water draining form the yards and running across the road was frozen and really slippery. We need several days of 50/60 degree temperatures and a few days of hard rain to wash the crap off the road. I'm shined up, fueled up, aired up and tuned up ready to go at a moments notice. I can be leg over faster than one of Paul Rever's minute men.
