Mary#17 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 My husband and I finally were able to get out for two evenings together earlier in the week. First time we got two nights away from the kids since my daughter was born 6.5 years ago! We left Sunday morning and came back on Tuesday evening. Rode for two days in West Virginia and the last day in Ohio. West Virginia has Great Roads!! Very impressed. Great sight lines and banked never ending sweepers. Good times! We don't stop much except for gas but here is a picture of some falls in WV. You can also see some of the rain clouds that chased us Monday morning. In WV, we hit 14,36,16,60,41. All of these roads were quite fun. The endless sweepers and banked turns were really a plus. In OH, we hit 26, 800, and 556. 26 has some lane closures and very new pavement (ie asphalt in your front fender - almost as bad as nails on a chalkboard). I haven't been on 800 in a while and had forgotten how much fun a couple of sections are. Did about 265 miles on Day 1, 235 on Day 2 and finished off with about 160 in Ohio. Good trip.

Mary#17 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Nice. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy time with your spouse. Lyns and I haven't been on our bikes together since May. Then, she went to Deals Gap without me a couple weeks ago. She's a heartless beast. Ouch! I hope you make it out together soon. The bikes are our date nights. If we didn't have them, I'm not sure we'd spend anytime away together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary#17 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 DAC - you rode further east didn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 West Virginia has Great Roads!! Very impressed. Great sight lines and banked never ending sweepers. WV has some awesome sport bike roads. The roads tend to be built around the hills rather than go right over the hills like in SEO. So, WV has less blind hills and more high speed sweepers. I love riding in WV, but it seems to happen less often these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 DAC - you rode further east didn't you? We rode 250 to Fairmont and then 19, 119/33, 16, 47 back to Ohio. Next time we'll do more stuff further to the east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a three day trip through NC, SC, Tenn, and GA and although there were some really phenomenal roads, WV was still a whole lot of fun. We will be planning more trips that way next year for sure.
