Last year Doug Pippen included a couple of routes that went southwest from Lewisburg. If you haven't ridden one of them, you'll probably enjoy them.

Sorry Wardle, I am on vacation with my wife right now. I'll make the route maps available the first of The week. Doug has tweaked some of them for us. I also plan to send Google maps to the WV Dept. Of Transportation for some feedback. Hopefully they can tell me if there are any road outages left over from the flooding around the Greenbrier.:-)

Syd,
If you have time and interest you might try looking for a WV DOT site that shows construction/closures. I've been using the Ohio one for some years when doing planned rides to make sure I'm not finding a surprise closure.
wardie:
The Bridge that I referred to is the New River Gorge seems like I end up there a lot :( LOL
Thanks to all for responses. I am starting to think maybe Seneca Rocks or the "other" bridge. Good point Steve..seemed everywhere I went this year there were closures. I picked up a sailboat on the North Carolina Coast a couple of weeks ago and man I -95 had it's share of closures and slow downs same for I-40.
My new GPS had cool traffic avoidance stuff that made looping around the slow downs and closures a breeze..

Larry, ahhh, that bridge. It is standard route for many at Mail Pouch, and I often go through there on other routes to the south, or even returning from FCR (US60 west to WV16 back to Ohio).
I strongly suggest you take the route that goes to Paint Bank and runs VA311, I forget what else is involved, but I've done that road many times and it is a blast. Much closer to Lewisburg, while Seneca Rocks could be an option to go through/visit on your way home if you have an extra day. Its near Elkins area.
