Princeton Road
I went out for a ride today to do some intervals on Hart Road up in Montville. I took the bike path from Chardon out to Stillwell Road and I noticed that what had formerly been gravel had been resurfaced with chipseal. So I took it over to Princeton Road. Princeton used to have some paved sections and some gravel sections, but the gravel had also been replaced with chipseal. It looks like all (maybe?) the remaining gravel road in eastern Geauga County has been replaced with chipseal roads.
The chipseal roads open up quite a few new routes out into eastern Geauga County and western 'bula. I haven't been a big fan of riding out there on the primary roads like Chardon-Windor or S.R. 6--even though there's usually not much traffic, because when there is, it is a truck that's going 65 mph a few inches from your shoulder.
There's a nice little route down the bike path to the Headwaters Park end of the trail, then to Durkee Road over to Princeton and around the reservoir. That route used to have a couple nasty gravel sections, but now it should be relatively easy.
Another possibility is to take Huntley Road and head way out into the Grand River Valley to reach some of the great roads out there.

Chardon Windsor?? We ride that a lot and never (knock on wood) had any sort of issue.
Looking forward to trying some of these out.
Thanx
It's been pretty rare, but over the years, I've had a couple drivers blow past me on that road while going east from Chardon.
