Ill check it out and thanks.

Slack20 from where you are at go east on 36 and pick up 56 to athens ohio pick up 50 run it into Wva going east to 16 south to 79 east then pick up 19 south right thru summersville lake and to new river gourge something like that would be a sweet ride.

But if you look at your atlas look on 77 south out of ohio you will see charlston WVa south of charlston it turns into 64 and you see beckley wva and 19 north the new river gorge bridge is on 19 north of Beckley right about where fayetteville WVa is and everything around there is great riding.

If you want to take a good ride that is off the the interstates and 4 lanes when you get to Dayton take rt 35 south all the way to I64 go east to Charleston when you get to Charleston you will take I77 south and I64 east the 2 merge in Charleston when you get through Charleston about 3 miles you will see Rt 60 east stay on Rt 60 and that will take you through Gauley Bridge and when go through Gauley Bridge on RT 60 you will go across a big and curvey mountain past Hawks nest state park to Hico there is a HD Dealership there and right past there a couple of miles take a right on Rt 19 to Fayetteville and you are about 2 miles from the New River Gorge Bridge Rt 60 is a very good road to ride if you want anymore details let me know I live in the area .And if you want on October 17th 30th Annual Bridge Day Festival that is when crazzies from all over come to jump off a perfect good bridge ! go figure.

Try Dirty Ernie's Rib Pit in Fayetteville. Good food, Plenty of it, reasonable prices and if Ernie's there he'll spend hours talking to you.
