I lived in Sagamore HIlls, Northfield and Macedonia in the 80s. Never rode a motorcycle to New Philidelphia, but I did go to Canal Fulton once a week for work. I would take take 82 west out of Sagamore Hills to then 21 South to Canal Fulton. You can make a loop by taking 93 north to 619. I would run 619 a short way before deciding if I wanted to return east or west of Akron. I'm sure it is more congested now but it was a great ride back then. I also like to run Riverview Road out of Sagamore Hills.
