The Stops

Loading the ride…

West Virginia Bikers publishes routes as a guide, not a guarantee. Roads change, conditions change, and GPX data can be wrong — check the weather, judge the surface for yourself, and ride your own ride. Road conditions, closures, traffic and wildlife are yours to assess on the day. Riding a motorcycle carries inherent risk. We do not verify or warrant the accuracy of any route, map or GPX file, and you ride at your own risk.

This is a two-day ride through Hampshire and Mineral County back roads, the kind of country where a general store is still the center of town. Ninety-two miles total, split easy across two days with an overnight in Keyser, so there's no reason to rush any of it.

Day one runs from Augusta through Slanesville and down to Romney before climbing toward Keyser. Day two loops back north and west toward Augusta on quieter roads. Either day is a comfortable half-day of riding with plenty of time left for the towns themselveshe Stops
