(Brad Davis/The Register-Herald) U.S. Senator Joe Manchin hops back onto his bike after quick stop for fuel at the Tamarack Travel Center in Beckley Sunday morning, the first of 12 scheduled stops along a statewide motorcycle tour dubbed the "Take Me Home" ride. Their journey began at Charleston's Cultural Center, stopped first in Beckley then headed south towards Lewisburg, Marlinton, Elkins and Romney before capping the first of the two-day ride in Martinsburg. Today, the senator and anyone who decided to join the ride along the way will roll through Morgantown, Fairmont and Bridgeport before ending the ride and his mid-term election campaign back in Charleston.
