Hello there. My brother and I rode down to the mid point of BRP in NC 25 years ago from Michigan and rode 250 all the way from northern WV. We used to love to ride in WV. So many great roads to ride. Over the years, we went to all the great places to see in WV. I was 49 years old back then when we first rode Hy 250. Do I miss those days. Have fun and be safe.

@@Ucmpigs I pulled a propane tanker to just about every town in WV for about ten years. There's so many great roads! I live in the northern panhandle myself. I'm heading down to Smoke Hole in April to meet up with a bunch of my old Army comrades. Sort of a commemorative annual unit fishing trip. I'll be riding 250 and 92 all the way from Wheeling to just above Seneca Rocks and I don't fish much so I'm planning to ride a couple of hours each day while I'm down there. Hopefully it doesn't rain or snow the whole time? April can be hit or miss in the heart of the Appalachians that time of the year. Safe travels bro!

@@Ucmpigs yes! I never heard it called the hellbender before but that loop down through Webster springs would be a great ride! You will not be disappointed. You're going to be right there skirting really close to snowshoe mountain and Cass railroad. There's no such thing as a boring road in that entire area. It literally ruined me for interstate trucking. I never wanted to see a freeway again after I got used to days delivering loads back in those mountains. It's so bad that after the work changed hands and I didn't have that specific job, I quit driving all together and went to work in the shop.

Rode Rt 33 last year from Skyline Drive into Seneca Rocks. It was a GREAT road! I don’t recall Yokum’s - guess I’ll just have to go back and ride it again. Just got home from Skyline (again), Blue Ridge, Diamondback and Maggie Valley and I’m ready to head out again. Edit - just checked the map and I did pass Yokum’s - stopped to get a picture of Harper’s Country Store right next door. Gotta go back.

@triumphrider97963 ай бұрын
Both 250 and 33 are great rides. Yokum's is okay, but really you should just go a few miles further down on 28 to Judy Gap and stop at Gateway (right at the foot of the road that goes to the top of Spruce Knob), some of the best pies you can find anywhere. Last trip into WV I came over on 250 from VA and made a 50-mile detour just to have lunch at Gateway before heading back down 28 and 97 on the way to New River Gorge. Very roundabout route, totally worth it (starting from southern MD).
