The long way home. Tuesday

Mileage: 473mi
States: KY, OH, WV, MD

After messing around with the bike-to-bike for a little while and getting the bikes loaded, we finally pulled out at 9:15AM. The goal was to stay away from the Interstate and enjoy ourselves.
Taking US60 we headed East.
If you ever get a chance to ride US50 through WV, you’ll love it. From Parkersburg to Clarksburg is big fast sweepers (speed limit of 65) and then from Clarksburg on its fairly tight and twisty. Lots of S curves and nice little downs thrown in. Speed limit is 55, but I’m only getting there when it’s straight. 40 is about what I’m doing around the corners, but then I’m slow and the bikes loaded to the hilt!

We stopped in MD on US50 at a little mom and pop motel. Rooms were old, and lacked A/C but were very nicely kept and provided a welcome flat spot to lay out on.
