The weather in Ohio is dynamic throughout the year, so prepare for a bit of everything. Count on hot and humid summers, and wear breathable gear and a hydration pack to fight the heat. The winters are milder in the southern part of the state, so you can do some Ohio motorcycle riding in the off-season there, but expect harsher winters in the north along Lake Erie. Layer up and use four season riding gear in the other seasons to stay comfortable. Precipitation is pretty even throughout the year, so pack your rain gear just in case.  

Attractions For Ohio Motorcycle Rides

It's no secret that “Cleveland Rocks,” so it's not a bad idea to start your visit to Ohio at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Seven floors and four theaters chronicle how the genre has evolved over the years. While in Cleveland, stop into the A Christmas Story House to tour the original filming location of the holiday classic. If you're seeking more thrills outside of motorcycle routes in Ohio, then head west of Cleveland to Cedar Point. This historic theme park opened way back in 1870, and it is often rated as the best theme park in America. Plan your visit to Sandusky, OH around Memorial Day to hit Ohio Bike Week, the largest rally in the Midwest. This 10-day festival attracts over 200,000 people for concerts and events on the shore of Lake Erie. South of Columbus, you can enjoy the natural beauty of Ohio at Hocking Hills State Park. Explore waterfalls and caves around the park like the famous Rock House. Or relive the glory of NFL seasons past at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH.
