None of those are county roads. The County Rt 1 mentioned previously is
almost certainly gravel, as will be almost any county road that looks
really twisty on a map. As long as you stick to primary highways you're
relatively safe. I say relatively because WVians have no compuctions
about driving across the center line in curves even on state highways.
I've done plenty of riding up there...

Anyway, I didn't mean to imply there aren't any good roads, only that
you can't look at a map and pick county roads that LOOK good, because
the vast majority of county roads are like I said...
