Thumbs up WV HellBender Loop...

West Virginia has some of the best riding on the east coast.
The small town I work in (Richwood, WV) setup this website recently showcasing the WV Hellbender Loop (1300 curves in 132 miles).
I've ridden it many time since I live along the route. Definitely lots of twist and turns to enjoy.
Check it out if you're in WV.
I'll also recommend Whistle Punk Grill & Tap house.
Excellent food and great atmosphere.

If you hear banjos along this route, stop and enjoy the bluegrass music.
