Here is a full recap of my trip.
Blaze to Morgantown WV area Friday:
To me this is the best way to go.
It takes about 6-7 hours but once you have done this you are in the heart of the great riding.
There's a nice new Tims in Washington (end of Racetrack Rd) if that matters to you.
Saturday:
Like i said #20 is a great ride and Bridge Day is quite the event.
The weather could of been a little nicer but at least i stayed dry.
Princeton is a great place to stay with an abundance of accommodations and food.
Sunday:
When the sun shines on you it sure warms you up
#598 is a great ride up the MT with a nice pull off at the top
#52 to Wytheville is a fantastic ride.
Be sure to stop at Big Walker Lookout.
Hungry Mother State Park is beautiful and i cant wait to go back.
#16 Back of the Dragon is a great ride and worthy of been given a name.
I only noticed sad / gravel in one spot and it was on a straight away.
The rest of the road was in great shape and the ivy really added some color to the route.
I didn't stop at the store at then end and i'm ****** that i forgot about it.
I'll stop in next time.
#61 has a little bit of everything and i really enjoyed the ride.
Monday:
#603 / #58 / #716 / #113
This is a great rout to take across
There's a Subway in Damascus and a great pull off on #133
#421 is a great rd and again worthy of a name.
The north has some great smooth sweepers and a couple switchbacks
The southern part is the more technical part off the ride.
#221 back up to Wytheville was a little too busy for me
Tue:
The Harley dealer in Wytheville is a great place and the treated me well.
#42 / #18 / #220 wow wow wow.
This is a great route with lots of everything.
Must stop in Point Bank.
Smoke Hole rd is a must also....thanks soooo much for this Shane.
You could easily spend a couple days riding around this area.
Wed:
Next time i will get to the top of Spruce Knob....pretty tricky ride to the top.
#33 was a little too busy for me.
#119 / #47 is a great ride over to Parkersburg
To me riding in OH is different than WV
It has short stubby hills but way more twisty.
You would come to the top of one of these short hills and wouldn't know if the road went left right or strait.
Kinda like a roller coaster affect.
I really enjoyed it and it added to the mix.
Overall a fantastic trip and i see the weather is even better down there right now.
It just goes to show you that you dont have to go all the way to the Smokies to have some great riding.
The Wytheville are is a great base and has everything you need.
Any questions please feel free to fire away.
Thanks again Shane and Mac for you help on the way.
My fav pic of the trip.
