Mary#17 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hello all, We have typically done roads on the eastern side of 64/77 but I've seen some recommendations for nice roads on the other side. Anybody ridden any good roads in this area? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I think the riding on the NE of Beckley is better than the SW section of the state. I also seem to recall some areas over there were prone to flooding and road closures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the CORE days, there used to be a Pittsburgh sport bike forum called Steel City Riders. We'd get together with them from time to time. I know they did most of their street riding in WV & SE OH...little in PA. I personally haven't ridden much in PA, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Just south of Charleston pick up 94 west to 3. Run 3 south to Beckley. I have always enjoyed that road. North of Charleston, dunno....not really many roads there period. Edited July 16, 2018 by Tonik Casper sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 This is a route I ran a couple years ago in Pennsylvania. https://www.mapquest.com/directions/list/1/us/oh/jefferson/to/us/pennsylvania/endeavor-pa-283592014/to/us/pennsylvania/sheffield-pa-282026534/to/us/pennsylvania/bradford-pa-282027830/to/us/pennsylvania/stickney-pa-283397088/to/near-41.838206,-79.178092/to/us/pennsylvania/corry-pa-282034711/to/us/oh/jefferson?ogimageStrokeColor=#5882fa The best roads are probably 27 from Meadville to Titusville, 770, was fun, and 346 if you ignore the 35mph limit. 666 would be more fun if it was in better shape. I’m not sure where you’re coming from but to me the place to start that route is Meadville. SEO is definitely better than this, but the route entertained me.

Mary#17 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I prefer SEO and WV as well but there are times where it's raining down south and nice in PA. My husband and I have limited weekend opportunities for overnight trips so I've been trying to figure out alternates if the weather is crappy on our usual routes. It just doesn't seem like it really exists within the distance we are looking at. Oh well. Worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 RT 6 east out of Erie is nice. Not twistie but cool towns and touristy stuff to do along the way. http://www.paroute6.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonian Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Depends on how long you want to take to reach Beckley. Pick up 31S in Williamstown, just across the river and run it US50. Then pick up 16 all the way in. Drops you in on the north side of Beckley. Or run a bit north on 7 to Newport, cross over at St Marys, then run the entire length of 16. Or if you don't mind some slab, take I77 to Mineral Wells, pick up 21S to Sissonville. Pick 77 back up for a short run on 77 to Charleston. Pick up 119 to Danville. Then 85 to 99 to 3 to West Beckley. Edited July 17, 2018 by thompsonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
