Mostly legal dirt and single lane trails for National Forest access. Covers some paved roads so bike needs to be street legal. Depending on time of year, may encounter hunters along the way. They transport their dogs in pickup trucks and they use these trails too. Overall a great adventure. We camped near Capon Bridge, WV and did the course in about six hours.
some of the best riding in bankhead NF. mostly gravel. starts and ends at wiggins gas station. ride the southern part of the loop going east to west out to the tail. there is a hidden water fall to see if you go down to the creek just past the bridge. then take the northern part of the loop going west to east and end back a wiggins. total route about 88 miles. no food or gas on route except for wiggins at the start and end.
nice 67mile ride through small towns and bankhead NF. all roads. very twisty ride with plenty of gas and food on route.
