That will be a nice ride, and a lot of riding. The kind of trips my wife and I used to enjoy doing. Are you planning to be at the New River Bridge for Bridge Days? I assume they are still having it? We recently went to Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham Alabama. You would need at least three hours to just go through but it is amazing. The largest collection of motorcycles in the world. Gordon Barber spent $80 million bucks on this place and it is amazing.
Enjoy the ride and post pictures.

Thanks will do. Glad you mentioned Bridge day, didn't know when it was, and heard they shut down the bridge. I'll be there on a Wed. looks like it's on Saturdays.
Barber is great, been twice a really cool place. I like the races in back too.
Yeah, a lot of riding! The miles aren't too bad but slow long days it looks like. I haven't been to WV or KY, so will be a treat.

CrBear,
a recommendation for your trip: South of London,KY starts KY 192, which later becomes to "The Rattlesnake 192" (Link).
If you follow this road, you would have to skip Pine Knot, but you will experience a really nice remote, twisty riding through southern Kentucky.
Last fall, I discovered this road by chance and didn`t regret at all.

I'll second gravnov's recommendation of The Rattlesnake. Do you plan to run Hwy 80 from Somerset west to BG? That's a good road that I love to ride every chance I get into the southern part of the state.
