Safety
In addition to requiring the use of a DOT approved helmet on all MTF rides, the MTF Flower Sniff'n Committee strongly encourages the use of Motorcycle specific protective clothing and footwear while participating in any Flower Sniff'n event. All-the-gear-All-the-time (ATGATT) reduces the severity of injuries in an accident and we want every participant in our events to be as safe as possible.Also the MTF Flower Sniff'n Committee strongly encourages each participant in our events to self assess their riding style, interests, need for breaks and riding skill level and to keep that assessment in mind when choosing a riding partner or small group (2-4 riders) to ride with at our events. Sharing the road with someone of similar interests and riding style not only makes the ride more enjoyable for you, but safer for everyone.

Route Description |
| Four routes are courtesy of Road Runner magazine, the March/April 2021 edition. | |
| The 555 Loop Distance: 160 miles Duration: 4h 03m, not including stops |
Southeast Ohio may not sound like an exotic riding
location, but the region has some very challenging roads
in the Appalachian Mountain foothills. SR 555, which winds
its way 65 miles south from Zanesville, OH, to the banks
of the Ohio River, is one of the most difficult routes
that any rider is likely to encounter in Ohio or in many
other locations. |
| 555, 26, sr80 Distance: 187 miles Duration: 4h 37m, not including stops |
The southeast cloverleaf tour leaves Zanesville and
heads towards the Ohio River. It will require your full
attention with the never-ending succession of curves. The
elevation at the river is 650 feet, but 17.5 miles later
in Woodsfield, it's almost twice as high. SR 800 to
Woodsfield is part of the Demon’s Triangle, as dubbed by
Monroe County. The biggest increase in altitude happens
close to the river, but it’s an endlessly curvy road
passing by lots of farms and surprising long-range views. |
| Amish Country Distance: 207 miles Duration: 5h 06m, not including stops |
The northwest cloverleaf tour leaves Zanesville and
heads to SR 658 between SR 209 and Baltic, OH, is a long,
flowy section without many driveways or side streets with
good asphalt and fun but predictable curves. Baltic is
definitely Amish Country! Leaving Baltic there are empty
two-lane roads with even more Amish country, a waterfall,
a tunnel, and a dam. |
| State Parks-Hocking Hills Distance: 164 miles Duration: 4h 06m, not including stops |
The southwest cloverleaf tour starts out rather straight
and uneventful, then you arrive at Burr Oak State Park
with a nice scenic road right next to the water. Continue
on to Hocking Hills State Park. The Lake Hope Lodge and
the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls are popular stops for
meal breaks. Leaving the park you leave the hills, trees,
and twisties behind and are now surrounded by cornfields.
Followed by some excitingly tight corners back to
Zanesville. |
| Tuscarawas Cty-Seneca Lake Distance: 190 miles Duration: 5h 01m, not including stops |
The northeast cloverleaf tour leaves Zanesville and
heads through Amish Country again on the way to Tuscarawas
County. The landscape became a little more open, riding on
curvy roads on top of hills with uninterrupted views to
all sides. On the return trip you'll pass Seneca Lake, a
beautiful getaway just south of Zanesville. |
