Comments: Note: This route contains TECHNICAL sections, meaning some stretches of paved road that are rougher than would be preferred by touring and pure sport bike riders. "Lost River to the Trough via Grassy Lick" heads from CVR to Seneca Rocks then to Petersburg where a stop could be made at Tri-County Powersports (MSTA STAR sponsor). Then onto Moorefield and CR12 to Lost River State Park. From there we make our way up to a fun road called Grassy Lick, which will take to Romney. A very nice lunch can be had at the Main Street Grill but there are other fast food options, Sheetz and Dairy Queen. Points of interest in Romney include the School for the Deaf and Blind on the North side of US-50, also the Indian Mound Cemetery is interesting, it is on the west end of town also on the North side of US-50. From Romney we will head south though the Trough, I often see bald eagles on this road. This will pretty much go to Moorefield where I have us on the four lane US-48 back to Davis and CVR.
