Road this in my hot hatchback in June 2020. As of then it's in good condition most of the way through. There is some stripped down pavement areas where it looks like they're doing roadwork. Perhaps that will be done when you ride. It wasn't brilliant or anything, but it wasn't boring, either. The real kill joy was the speed limit. Thirty Five FREAKIN' miles an hour for MUCH of this road. I don't know why. It looks very 'upscale' with the houses on these roads, but perhaps it's due to Marcellus wells? All I know I that I may or may not have broken that speed limit by, oh, say 20 mph or so when there we no houses around. This spiced the road up a bit, too. All in all I would say if you're bored enough to give it a try, but I'll never be on it again. It isn't worth going out of your way for. 3.5/5

Rode this in July/2020... certainly has some rough patches, it's a cruiser that's for sure, oh there's a few places you can play. We based in Buckhannon. rode this route several times on way out and back whenever we rode east. Coming back early evening after riding in 90+ degree day this here route was pretty doggone refreshing. Lots of canopy west of Mill Creek to about Alexander, that time of the day most of the route is shaded, felt really good after a long hot day in the sun. Hardly any traffic, especially on east side.
