Gratuitous bike shot!
There is a nice cleared out area on my property with a drive road into it off the access road. Plenty of room for tents and cars and such. Nice big stone fire pit already and plenty of downed wood for fires. We need to do a camp and ride to here maybe this fall? I am only 2 miles from Reels Corner.
Then we headed down via Somerset city to Just outside of Morgantown to a sweet B&B for the night. Very close to Cheat Lake. This place is called Lake Manor B&B. If is an old Lawyer's building the owner converted into a B&B. She does weddings, has a conference room. Really sweet place and lots of parking and the food is great. About 5 miles from alot of places for dinner and such right off 68. We stayed in the "Safari" suite. An easy ~300 mile day. We started at 0930 and were at the B&B by 4. We stopped a few times for breaks and stuff.
The B&B was really clean and very nice. http://www.lakemanorwv.com/
Got up the next morning and after a excellent breakfast to order, we loaded up and headed out. Went west on 68 outside of Morgantown for a few miles then Took 250 down to Elkins. NIce back road. Pavement was a little rough here and there, but a great road that rolls along nicely with little traffic. At Elkins we took US 33 to Seneca Rock. Always love that section of US33. Stopped at the Rock for a break. Jeff had never been there so this was all new to him.
From Seneca Rock we took 28 North up to one of my favorite roads, 150 Smoke Hole road. This is a road that connects 28 over the mountains to 220. It was an old jeep road that the state finally paved about 10 years ago or so. At the end of the road if you run it from 28-220, there is a good place to stop and rest
One of the many creeks you see along this route. Tons of folks out on the rivers this weekend rafting and fishing. I want to do a trip and take a fishing pole and stop somewhere and fish and camp on the bike. Love to do those kinds of trips as well.
From there, 220 North up to Petersburg for lunch and then we took 55 all the way up into Va. and connected over to US340 up to Frederick and then home. As we came along 340 on the Potomac traffic slowed to a crawl until we crossed over back into WVa, there were folks all along the river enjoying the perfect weather yesterday.
Good ride, great weather and not too much traffic at all. easy 670 miles in the two days. Lots of bikes out this weekend and we saw lots of smokie's!
