WV-250N Hundred to Moundsville, WV

This is a great one for Sport Riders that want to test their endurance or Cruisers that want another scenic option. Starting out in Moundsville and turning back in Hundred is roughly an hour each way affair AND THE TURNS JUST KEEP COMING!

A road of this length you'd expect a mixed bag of road conditions; sections that are immaculate, others with patches, fallout, cracks, and/ or bumpy... Also it offers a little bit for everybody; wide open spaces which are highlighted in the 2nd half of the video, to the twisties and tight hairpins shown early in the video.

I think everybody should at least try this one once, if not annually to test their stamina.
Rain had been in the area for days but gravel washout was very predictable and almost none existant and must not be a real issue in the area...

Oh and if heading south somewhere near Cameron there is a decreasing radius right hander that is also downhill off camber that I could see someone overcooking it so WATCH OUT.

Just road a large portion coming from Wheeling. Finally got off and headed east, way too much truck traffic to enjoy the ride. The scenery is really nice, but not worth putting up with all the truck traffic coming from both directions, as well as pulling onto and off of roadway.

We took this route from Weston to Ripley during a touring ride headed west, and it was a very enjoyable part of the trip. It is indeed a nice combination of sweepers, tighter twisties, and straights. The scenery varies, and it generally great. The pavement is well kept, and in fact we were delayed a bit by a stretch of repaving work. There is truck traffic on this route, but there are enough places to pass. You can make pretty good time on it, or take it easy and relax.
