Brian,

I am sorry to hear that SR 72 has deteriorated to the point it is no longer fun. That happened on my favorite Ohio road too, CR 536 from Round Bottom to Hannibal. I was delighted when the Dragon got repaved a few years ago. It was not too bad, but after repaving became excellent. Hopefully the same will occur with WV 72 & OH 536 some day.

It looks like to visit the New River Bridge would take us a 250 mile minimum day when starting and ending in Elkins. I am up for it if others are, otherwise there are many fun roads where we could literally ride loops from Elkins so that we could return to home base every75 miles or so, and run as many of those loops (a different loop each time) as the group feels comfortable with. As we have found out from past T Rallies, with everyone stopping and talking so much, 150 to 175 miles can take all day.
