Great Routes in WV
« on: September 09, 2015, 07:26:25 PM »
I'm headed to the FJR eastern owners' meetup (EOM) later this month. They've got some great routes mapped out.Thought some of us might want to have them for reference. Some great riding!

US16 out of Beckley WV all the way over to Marion VA is AMAZING. Another of my favorites is US17 "Snowy Mountain Road from Cherry Creek WV to Harper WV. The road is nice but when you get to the top and look down through the valley back towards Cherry Creek the view is spectacular.

Returning from the Ohio Rally we took 16S from St Marys, WV to 60E at Gauley Bridge, WV. East on 60 to Sam Black Church and picked up I-64 for a short distance to 220S. 16 and 60 should give anyone their fill of curves for a day. Great riding.

DEAN! 

Get on this man's case and tell him to quit giving away all the good roads!!   Pretty soon they won't be our private Scenic Routes any more .....

I think you mean CR17 from WV28 in Cherry Grove, WV over the mountain to US220 near Harper, WV?

This is looking towards Cherry Grove:

Yes CR in lieu of US. All the cattle we saw in the fields had legs 10" shorter on one side.

You got to share them when you're riding with them.

Whoa! I've wandered these roads for some time now, but never been organized enough to catalog them.
