Motorcycle Touring In West Virginia

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

West Virginia and Motorcycles, what do they have in common? The most fun you can have legally!! Just got back from a two hour motorcycle ride on my Harley Softail Duece crusing through Fayette and Nicholas Counties.

Backroads TouringDuring that time, I crossed and rode beside three major rivers and one of our largest lakes. How did I do that? Started in Fayetteville and blazed on some cool roads. Crossed New River twice, Meadow River once and then Gauley River twice. Even crossed Summersville Lake twice too!  Cool huh?

What a great Sunday afternoon!! Crusing on my bike enjoying the sights and scenes of these river systems. All of which contribute to the great whitewater we have in West Virginia.

Along the way I passed through or near three state parks and two national parks. State parks, Hawk’s Nest, Babcock and Carnifex Ferry Battlefield and National parks, New River Gorge National River and Gauley River National Recreation Area were all on my route.  The ride offered great elevations and awesome twisting curves on well paved roads.
