BRP and New River Gorge

Rt 39 from Buena Vista through Goshen Pass, VA and Marlington WV, all the way over to Summersville on Rt 19.
As far as a different way back I would head 13 miles back on 39/55 then take 20 south to 60 east, to 64 east. From 64 take 311 south (the exit it right on the WV-VA line). Watch the signs and stay on 311 south. (There is a nice little general store-restaurant in Paint Bank.) Continue on 311 to New Castle where you'll turn Rt on 42 which is a nice road (you almost don't see 42 until you ride past it). Follow 42 to Newport and take 460 to I-81 south. Go I think one exit and exit on 8 south, follow 8 through Floyd to the BRP.

Consider riding down to the bottom of the gorge and getting the view of the bridge, pretty cool. If you go to the visters center on the north side on rt 19, go past the center and the road turns into one way and zig zags to the bottom. Outstanding views. I have a slideshow video on YouTube of it, search for user "madmotorcycle". Also +1 on pies and pints in Fayetteville and ridewva has given you an perfect route !
