Rain and temps in the 30's has to be about the most miserable riding conditions I can think of (outside of freezing rain that is, ran into that once but near enough to home I was able to turn around and get back safely). Don't blame you a bit for opting for the faster route home. Liked seeing the "Mystery Hole" there when you were on 60. Good thing you caught that chain issue, must say I'm surprised it got that loose on you (we won't talk about what my Bonnie's chain looked like once).

Man We love the Trace. Stay on it for 18 days at the free campgrounds, a lot to explore. People lending a helping hand...The biker community is the best. Nice trip.

I rode from Pittsburgh to Ocoee in early April 2022, leaving through 5 snow squals until the wva boarder. Had a great week of riding the Cherokees and Smokies, then having a 2 day misty wet ride home likeyourtrip. Woke to an inch of wet snow in Princeton wva for the final day of my trip with snow squals the rest of the ride. Had a couple pucker moments in the higher elevations on rt 20 but just wet roades other than that. I was dressed for the conditions and oddly enjoyed them.

That ride reminds me of most of my rides here on the Far-Nor-Cal Coast. In my late 50's, it's electric gear and Hippo Hands in the colder months and as much as I complain about the Tech on bikes, rain mode has saved my bacon a few times on crappy roads.

Was a nice trip but it is always nice to be home again.

In your video I saw the Mystery Hole on rt 60, I saw that place when I was a kid, it must have been there at least 60 years. Thanks for the videos, I always find your road trips interesting.

Such a fantastic state to ride. If you're a rider and havent been to WV, you're going about life wrong.

That Quality Inn sign in Lewisburg looks very familiar. The Wild and Wonderful Weekend trip was fun even though I didn’t have a “touring” bike at the time.

Blake, I think that may have been me, lol! I haven't ridden with Mario but ride much of the same areas. Maybe someday I'll run into him.

glad you got home safely. get some heated riding gear....it will come in handy as much time as you spend on the road.

Got some heated gloves delivered. Gonna stick with layers for everything else. It was only my hands that ever got cold.

Bahahah, a cold November ride. That's funny. Here is NEPA, it gets down to the teens. Especially now in January. I ride all winter. As long as there's no snow. Im riding. 60 degrees is shorts and T shirt weather for me.

Enjoyed this trip, Mario. I just did the Natchez back in October when a friend and I rode out to Austin for the F1 weekend. I've also stayed at that Delta in Huntington a few times on m/c trips myself. Some good eats and hangout spots around there. Funny hearing you mention the MARRC corner worker. I was with MARRC for over 13 years until I moved to Alabama.

Great trip Mario! Has anyone ever hit hail on a ride? I got hit with some hail a few years back and it put my balls in my throat, felt like I was slipping around a bit and immediately pulled over. I guess heavy hail isn't rideable?
