I rode this route over Father's Day weekend June 2010. What a ride! But with the severe winter this area had there is a lot of patching and some rough spots. When riding through Richwood look for the beatuiful little church and the murals on buildings. I had ridden through and was thinking about them and 2 miles out , I turned around, went back and took pix.

Update from West Virginia’s Road Ranger (July 31st, 2020): I can only speak for Elkins to Valley Head, but the pavement is very good between those places, and I would suspect further south on 219. Check www.wv511.org for any possible construction.

add a T to this trip, taking 219 south past Lewisburg to Union, sweeping S curves, great views, high quality road all the way down. Amazing ride, highly recommend it (I did not take the east/west road, which sounds lovely, but 219 is one of the best rides if you love curve after curve on first rate pavement (near the Greenbrier after all, have to keep all those corporate types happy.)

Don't forget to take route 150 highland scenic highway mountain pass at Marlinton. We love taking this ride! Going back again this year.

Great route. 219/250 out of Elkins is a bit 'meh' until 250 breaks off and goes its own way. Then 219 eases up on traffic and things get twistier and twistier. Heading onto 39 in SpeedingTicketsville is a nice touch, and certainly a nice portion of that road. A great 'short cut' (see: long cut) from SpeedingTicketsville to Elkins.

This is a fantastic ride! Agree with Akumu, section where 250 and 219 run together is just so so, but rest of the ride is SWEET! Great pavement, plenty of twisties, what a fun ride! Great roads branch of every part of this route. We had a county route we'd take from Mill Creek/219 over to 20/West Virginia Wildlife Center, went thru Helvetia & Alexander. It was hot and this route was a nice, cool, shaded ride. 40 miles, road was a bit rough in places, and had gravel in a few turns, but all in all not too bad. We based in Buckhannon and rode it several times both ways, liked east to west better.
