If your going as far as the river... go into kentucky.. I was down about 3 weeks ago and road Route 10 and 22.  AMAZING.  People travel to ride those 2 roads down there.  Amazing non stop turning action and not a SINGLE portion of either road and ANY gravel what so ever.  They take care of the roads down there.  Its only a 2hr trip there.  Well worth the time.   
Ive ridden route 26 before, its like a mini deals gap.  It was bad ass when I road it a couple summers back, Im not sure what its like these days though.  I forget how many miles of turns it was hmm
