Won't make it this year, but am planning to head down that way after STAR and  stay at the Alleghany Inn a couple nights and ride some of those great roads.

HawkGTRider:
I've got other plans after STAR...maybe I need to take 10 days getting from Sparta to Davis. Hmmm. Are there any curvy roads between those two locations?

You pulling my leg right?  10 days to get from Sparta to Davis, you could ride to the west coast and back in 10 days (though the roads are not the curviest). But sure there are plenty of good roads between those two areas, I have a route somewhere need to find it, but it included VA 311 near Paint Bank as well as parts of US33 and WV28/92 closer to Davis.

Me? Pull your leg? Surely not.

Let's see...from Sparta down to Cruso, NC (STAR 1987). Then up to Asheville, NC (STAR 2007). A short hop across the mountains to Johnson City, TN (STAR 2011). Then a really short hop up the road to Bristol, VA (STAR 2019). Then maybe over to Staunton, VA (STAR 2009) before stopping by Charleston, WV (STAR 2003). Then, I think, to Marietta, OH (STAR 1999) before finally arriving in Davis, WV (STAR 1996 and finally 2021).
Yeah, I could easily knock off 10 days doing that.

So...who's up for a tour of previous STAR locations? See attached screen shot of STAR locations since 1983. Most have been one-time locations, several two-fers, and Avon, CO is a 5-time winner.
Before you get too excited, I included Cape Girardeau on the map since we were scheduled there not once, but twice in 2020 even though we never actually made it at all.

Hi Geoffrey,

I like your map.  What is the location that is shown south of La Crosse on the Mississippi River?  Looks like Iowa/ILL/WI border area.  Also what city is that in northern MI near Lake Superior?  We have been in that area from Duluth, MN several times and it is great riding.  Not hilly, but scenic along the big lake.
