Just about any road in WV is fantastic. I spend a fair bit of time out there during endurance rallies and am amazed every time.

Is that US 50 E/W across WV? I was thinking of taking it from Winchester, VA to Ohio. It's good?

Not bad so long as there is no rain. I spent 200 miles, and 6 hours stuck in slow rainy traffic from one construction zone to another on 50 on my way to the MOA.

Better is 33, and low across to Ohio.

its best very early AM or late evening since there are not a lot of passing areas as it cross the WV highlands and if you get stuck behind a truck or slow moving car it be really painfull such a nice twisty road at 45 just takes all the joy out of it.

once you get into Ohio following the river on rt 7 or 2 is a nice ride as well.
