I'm headed to Nashville later this month via the scenic route. I'm looking at running south on 220 then cutting across the Monongahela National Forest on rt 250/92 (Staunton Parkersburg Tpke).

How is this route for riding or are there better roads to take. I'm not familiar with this area.

Thanks
Steve

 

The only thing I would add is getting into the forest higher north then 250. Looks like 72 at Cabins will give you more mountain time. It's been a couple years, but I remember 220 as a flat country ride.

 

Didnt say where you are coming from but 219 is a much better ride.

 

220 and 92 are both kind of down in the valley rides. A few curves but not a lot of elevation changes. 250 33 39 will all take you up and over the mountains to 219 which is a good ride. If time is an issue tho 220 or 92 are faster traveling than 219.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I am coming out of York, Pa. I'll check out the routes on the maps.

 

220 follows the valley but nice...

28/39/219 little better

Not sure how you're getting to 220 from York --- if you're doing something up north first & then going down, or if it's 30 to Bedford. I'm an outside sales rep & used to travel to VA & W.VA, in the car. I thought 68 out of Cumberland MD would be a great ride on the bike. Nice & hilly & scenic, and not much traffic for an interstate. Same with 79 to Charleston, and then down 77. Saw lots of bikes.

 

Google Cass Scenic and check out other iron horses... And the roads are quite enjoyable. When I need to get away from it all, I go to Cass! Have a great trip!

 

OK got ya on the Cass....

 

I'll see your Cass and raise you a Rt 33 overlook and a Rt 220 overlook
