Not on The Raptor, but WV is well known on the east coast for its amazing raptor population. Bald Eagle sightings are now almost as common as the various hawk species that fill our skies.
Come to WV and witness first hand the magnificent birds of prey that grace our beautiful mountains.
The global attention that America's newest national park is garnering is also boosting interest in an exceptional new and accessible motorsports route in
For many years as we traveled to NC and TN and rode their really cool backroads with friends, we always complained that back home in WV we had the most amazing roads, but no one ever developed them.
Nearly 3 yrs ago the wheels of Backroads WV began turning. The Talon was the first concept and it was so well received that a long term plan was developed. A 5 year business model of pay as you go to bring on named rides to some of the coolest places in WV to ride. Met other like minded folks like Michael and Chris at The WV Hellbender along the way that had the same vision.
We are a long way from the envisioned goals of the entire state of WV becoming a motorsports retreat for backroad enthusiasts to enjoy. The support and cooperation of local mom and pop locations has been remarkable. With a little luck and dogged determination, in a few more years little ole West By Gawd Virginia will finally get on the motorsports map.
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement .
US Trademarks are coming along. Pandemic set them all back a bit. Y'all have no idea the expense, artwork, designing, promotional workings that go behind the scenes to bring these things online in a professional manner. Its totally worth it though. Its my sincere hope that these concepts have an impact and a lasting legacy for the wonderful people of WV and the amazing visitors who come to experience them.
We were going to unveil The Raptor at Saturdays Meet and Greet on The Shenandoah Sidewinder event, but due to the cold weather that moved in the ride/event isn't happening.
So, here we are. West Virginia's latest (and Backroads WV last development) is The Raptor. Its The infamous US 250 from Huttonsville WV to Staunton VA. 87 miles and 8 mountains. Probably some of the most amazing scenery, twists and turns you will ever experience in 2 hours in you life. 8 wonderful mountains full of beautiful vista's.
Whether you come from the I-81 corridor from Virginia's Shenandoah Valley or you connect to US 250 on the WV side from one of the other amazing US highways like US 33 The Shenandoah Sidewinder, US 219 The Seneca Trail, you will witness the WV highlands in all its glory. Come see what all the fuss is about.

Snow and 31 in the WV high country today. Nice strong wind driving the windmill farms up here. Elkins WV is the junction of 3 US highways that have named rides on them. US 33, The Shenandoah Sidewinder. US 219, The Seneca Trail. US 250, The Raptor.
The WV Potomac Highlands are some of the most beautiful places on the east coast. Canaan Valley, Blackwater Falls, Snowshoe Mt, Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, and many other magnificent places to see.
