Default West Virginia Road trip

Looking to do a road trip this September with a large group of Riders. We have done the Deals Gap/ Dragons Tail two years running and thought it was $#@%ing great. We are thinking of heading to West Virginia. We hear the scenery is awesome, but don't have a clue about West Virginia.

Can anyone help who has been there and give some pointer, or if you know some where better please tell. We are looking to go for 4-5 days

Read this:

any one interested in riding WV, you can go to www.visitwv.com and request information on the motorcycle tours, they have a great booklet with several nice rides. I picked one up at New River Gorge Harley. Riding WV is some of the best around.... go to "trip planner" at the top tabs, then on the left side is the link for "Brochures and Guides" I have ridden most of these rides and many start around the rafting area. The best rafting IMHO is "The Riverman" http://www.rivermen.com/?source=goog...FQyN1QodohmvYg

You have time to go on line and request the booklet from the state, it has some great rides.

&lt\\;P&gt\\;I go there from NH every Spring. Well worth the trip.&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;

I live in WV.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Ride to the NEw River Gorge frequently.&nbsp\\;The riding is great, the views are second to none really good restaurants&nbsp\\;and the rafting is the best around.
&nbsp\\;
Have fun
