Title: The Virginia Highlands Tour

 

State: Virginia

Submitted By: VA919er

Date Submitted: May 08

Motorcycle Type: 07 Honda 919

Motorcycle Road Length: 144 Miles

Motorcycle Road Scenery:

      This route will take you through the incredible Virginia Highlands (Bath-Highland counties) and over to West Virginia's Monongahela National Forest. As you enter the Virginia Highlands, sweeping views from mountain vistas and open valleys to narrow winding roads mark the territory you'll be riding through.

Motorcycle Road Quality:

      All roads are in good to great shape. Virginia especially does a great job building and maintaining roads and in these highland valleys and sharp winding turns, that's important.  

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:
      Warm Springs and Marlinton are the primary towns with gas stations. Be sure to fill up as you could go 45 miles without another station.

Great ride. I like to start on 39 near 64/81. I'm actually going to do it tomorrow.
