Need route advice, Va and NC area riders.

[timk]

Am going to Charlotte NC from Ohio next week and am going to ride the entire length of route 20 thru WVa that much I know. What I'm looking for is some other interesting North to South routes thru Va and NC. I used rt 52 last time, and liked most of the Virginia ride, the last 100 miles in NC left a little to be desired. I can Venture 50 or so miles off of I77. Thanks in advance. BTW twisties are greatly anticipated.

Might want to get in touch with 1Rooster, he lives in that part of the state. He'd be able to tell you about the roads out there. Have a great trip.

You did not mention riding the Blue Ridge Parkway, but that would be along your route. There are some portions closed from Asheville to Mt Mitchell, but you can detour around that. The BRP is a fantastic motorcycle ride.

Lots of great riding in Virginia on the Blueridge parkway that crosses over I-77.Blue ridge parkway north will take you to Maberys mill which is historic and has very good breakfast.A little further North is Tuggles gap which has great food and on weekends has bands and attracts alot of bikers.All this is within 30 miles of I 77.I think it would be well worth a day long or over night stay.It is some of the best riding anywhere.

 

You could also take the parkway south into NC and hit 16 south which would allow you to bypass some of I-77 and take you to Charlotte.

You'll be passing by here within about 25 miles as you go through Webster County on Route 20.
