West... go west.. at least 4 hr ride to get to the foothills. Get a map and look at Rt 58 west. If you like leisurely riding with lots of hills and curves, that's your road. When you get to Meadows of Dan , get on the Blue Ridge Parkway north (45 mph MAX) up to about Roanoke, then 220 south to Rt. 40 East back toward VA Beach. If 40 gets to be too long and slow (and it probably will), take it to 360/460 and 460 right back home you go.. Might want to do google "streetview" to get an idea of the roads... figure the better part of two days.. lots of little B & B's/hotels around Meadows of Dan or Blue Ridge Parkway north-internet is your friend when it comes to that..
