You're coming to my neck of the woods lol I suggest you check out the newly named road, the Head of the Dragon. Part of it runs on US52 which will accomplish part of the Devil's Den rides. I'll second the suggestion of A Taste of Memphis in Princeton, good stuff, and if you happen to go through Fayetteville the Secret Sandwich Society is a pretty good place to eat and grab some craft beers before going to see the New River Gorge a very short ride away.

West Virginia absolutely rocks, hardly a bad road to be found.

I toured the entire state then hit East Coast Sturgis a few years back. You'd struggle to find a 'bad' road to ride in WV.

Fayetteville is one area I stayed. Great campground w/ cabins for rent: http://www.rifrafters.com/

Owner is bike friendly. I liked the place. Note it was hard to find a drink around there (liquor). Guess I'm blessed where I live.

Many of the small towns....I found it to be very hillbilly and you're an outsider so worth minding ones manners else you may get some stray looks or action you don't want. I got followed around in a grocery store by the manager in one small town. I promptly left.

Route 33 heading east out of Elkins brings back a memory. A 'big valley' ride. Super cool.

New River Gorge Bridge- you can ride to the bottom and look up, pretty cool

Sara Ann WV. Walking into the cemetery there is a hand written sign stating "you are being watched" so people do not steal the old gravestones etc.

Interesting stop.

'Devils Den' must be newer "marketing" for riding in WV. I did a ton of research before heading there years ago, never heard of 'Devils Den' until this thread! lol

Great state to ride. Have fun. Tons to see.
