Eck that is definetly a nice ride but with a large group it may be too long. What I was thinking if from the lodge to Petersburg by way of Smoke Hole Road then rt 42 to Scherr and then a short ride on the " H" back into Thomas then 219 to parsons and then 72 back to the lodge. And check out Lance Ridge road from Aurora ,wv to St. George, wv and let me know what you think.
