So what road exactly are you talking about ? You go down to SE Ohio and you'll find that steeper IS a problem. You might be walking up some of those roads. Champaign County is tough, but I doubt that it compares to anything that Morgan or Washington County has to offer. Do CFC and see if it compares, I doubt it. CFC is the toughest ride in the state. The Top of Ohio is a training ride for CFC. I was out in Montana, and those boys were teasing me about riding in Ohio. I'll tell you what. Those logging roads in Montana were'nt nothing compared to the stuff we have here in Ohio.
