July 2019 Motorcycle Trip

Jim's Bike: 2017 Triumph Trophy SE    |    Dave's Bike: 2013 Triumph Bonneville

THE TRIP: The plan was to run from Greenfield, OH to the Seneca Rocks, WV area on the first day out. The second day our goal was to head from Seneca Rocks and go a little north before curving back south, crossing through a portion of Virginia and back into West Virginia for another night's camping at Summit Lake Campground near Richwood, WV. Our return route back to Greenfield was through Summersville and Marmet, WV and over into Kentucky. Then we headed north up through Huntington, WV, then westward over the north side of Portsmouth and up through Hillsboro, OH.
