Am sure people will disagree, but is a road that youi don't here alot about
Another fun route (and we run it all the time) is out of Parsons on US-219 north. The first mountain you climb, you're lucky to get 20-25mph uphill out of it. I need a webcam to record the mountain on wv93 coming out of there. It's a joy. One of those downhill runs with 20mph turns (and 20 is fast) and a 10% grade. You definitely want to be in the correct gear on that one.
