Route Help!

Didn't see a local club for the WV & VA area, so I'll post here.  There's got to be someone on here in/near/familiar with this area

I'm heading to Marlinton, West Virginia this weekend.  My route is pretty straight forward with the exception of one little spot.  I'll be entering VA on I-81 from Tennessee, following it until I pick up I-77 north.  Here's where I have two options.

1.  Pick up 460/219 where I-77 crosses it near Princeton and follow 219 into Marlinton.

2.  Stay on I-77 until it reach I-64, pick it up eastbound until it crosses 219, pick up & follow 219 into Marlinton.

According to Yahoo! Maps, here's the difference.  (Princeton, WV to Marlinton, WV) Option #1 is 2H 23M & 106.3 miles, Option #2 is 2H 10M, 123.8 miles.

What I need to know is

1)  How twistly is 219
2)  What is the posted limit on 219 (if it's not 55, better time could be made w/ option #2

Anything helpful is appreciated

Highly recommend you hit up the CAM crowd. Specifically, a guy named Gene. He's a master of Routes along the Eastern Seaboard.
