Started out from Elkins, WV rode US-250S through Monongahela National Forest, WV-92S, WV-66W stopped at Cass Scenic Railroad and did the Snowshoe Challenge, then back up US-219N.
Road Conditions are average (some loose gravel, and a fair amount of patchwork)
US-250, you're climbing so it is technical with lots of twisties and switchbacks. Watch the gravel.
WV-92 is more or less uneventful, it is fast and fluid but, there is an opportunity for gas and a rest stop.
WV-66 is windy, challenging, and technical. It is patchy but, predictable. MUST go up to Snowshoe and do the challenge. Great Views, Very Technical, and above average road conditions make this a MUST!
WV-219N was a delightful surprise, it is fast and throws a lot of high speed long sweepers at you. Not very technical but fast. It was a great way to end my loop.
Unfortunately, did not get a chance to do the loop in the other direction, due to rain. So I got a little unfinished business there, Sound familiar?
Oh, and Cell Phone Coverage...FORGET IT! The National Radio Observatory is over by WV-92 it's a deadzone!

Rode this in Sept 2009. Bought a bike on ebay, drove out with a friend, rode the bike back. Rained on the way back, and there was plenty of loose gravel that had washed onto the road in a few switchbacks. Made for a scary ride since it was getting dark. Going to do it again on a nicer day though, as it was still an adventure.

250 is a great road, especially between Huttonville, WV and Monterey, VA. Get gas in Huttonville because you'll have to wait til Monterey for your next chance. We had 4 turkeys that flew right over our head when going up the mountain. Once in Monterey, hit 220 north, another great road.
