Good route. Even better if you take the Blue Ridge Parkway instead of Rt.11 back to Roanoke. You can pick it up pretty easy by taking Rt.60 from Lexington to Buena Vista and then look for the signs. Make sure to fuel up before getting on the Parkway. (I found this out the hard way)

Good ride,enjoyable,lots of curves,but not overtaxing. I enjoyed much more than The Dragons Tail. You can enjoy the view on the ride.

Potts Mountain between New Castle and Paint Bank is my piece of heaven. Awesome section of road.

I have ridden RT220 from Covington to Warm Springs and even up to RT250 in Monterey, many times. I prefer running this route going northbound. The twisties are mostly on the uphill side going from Covington north.

Once you reach RT39 or RT250 you can go East or West and continue on some of the best riding roads in the area. Plan out your day, you can easily spend all day on the RT220 and RT250 loop. There are some nice hometown places to eat along the way, but they are scattered pretty far apart, so again play your day accordingly.
