Do You have to leave Your Area to find Great Riding...?

[skuuter]

Post up about where You live and how it fares for really Great Riding. By now, I think most of You have figured out that I live in a Great Riding Area (6000 Pics speak for themselves...:laugh...a virtual spider web of Great Roads, and Scenic Towns that will lead You with plenty of Entertainment to the Smokies Area if that is Your Goal, down the North Georgia/East Alabama Mountain Corridor, and up into the Cumberland Gap/Wartburg Area, or on up into the Pine Mountain, Ky, Virginia Areas. These are all reachable from here without ever hitting Interstate. I have Friends and Relatives that are not quite so lucky, havin' to ride, straight, boring roads for miles to get to anything remotely fun...I can leave my House onto Hwy 41-A, turn on any road, right or left, and the twisties start...!!!...Describe Your Areas....:wtg:

*** Gota' be some "Other than the USA" Great Ridin' Areas also...!!!

I live in Lafayette, Colorado. About 12 miles east of the biggest pile of rocks in the USA (the Rocky Mountains). These mountains have at least 3000+ miles of twisty two (sometimes 3 or 4) lane paved roads that vary in altitude from 5280 ft (officially Denver's claim to fame) to 14,264 (the parking lot on top of Mt Evans -- the highest paved road in the USA).

We also have a few other things to look at -- the UFO watch tower in Hooper, an Alligator farm near Alamosa, a couple of narrow gauge rail roads that haul tourists, the highest (they claim) suspension bridge in the USA, ...

I live in Sarasota, Fl. on the Gulf. Since I love the Gulf, beaches, bridges, (and bikinis) it takes me 10 minutes to find a great ride.

Going the opposite direction, I can cross rivers, see gators and old towns a few miles out of Sarasota.

Mountains would be nice, but I ain't complaining............

We have nice riding in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan but I wish we lived closer to western South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.

I live just south of Buffalo, N.Y.. We have some great areas to ride in around here, we ride down into Pa. quite a bit, then we can also go to Alleghany park, or head East. Wife & I left here this past saturday and went to Norwich, N.Y. to the NorthEast Classic Car Museum, we went all back roads & went through Watkins Glen, spent night in Norwich and came back Sunday on different roads, scenery was just fantastic.....little over 600 miles

I live in the Los Angeles area....land of super-slabs & a spider web of freeways. Tail-gating taught here! BUT grit yr teeth, turn up yr music & ride for abt 45 mins to an hour North, South or East & you've died & gone to heaven. Take yr pick...twisties (actually on 20-30 mins away), deserts landscapes, windy forest roads or just quaint back roads. Yupitty-do-da! We got 'em all:yay:

I have to take a left turn out of my drive -way and I am on a great road that takes me through the Litchfield Hills to NY state and theCatstkill , MT and a little further the beautiful Adirondaks, head N and we have the Green Mts, a little further E and the White MTs. If I go due S or Due East we have the Whole east coast And if you drive more than 1/2 mile on a straight road it is surprising . This can all be done within 60 miles of my home

Anytime I mount up, it's a great ride! Doesn't matter where the road goes or how long it turns out to be, it's a great ride!

Just like John ...
All we have to do is leave the driveway and the riding is awesome !
We live on the MA/NH border and the VT border is only 60 miles away.

I thought the Netherlands was too small and too flat for a great driving experience. Untill I bought my trike.

As long as you don't take main roads, and towns in the west, you get beautiful views nearly every time you turn ...

I live in the Ozarks. They don't make straight roads here.

This part of Ohio (around Dayton) has a peaceful, gently rolling, farmland beauty that is great to ride in...but don't look for hills and twisties. However, within an hour and a half in various directions we are in hills and forests and river/lake country that make for an amazing get-away on the bike and trike. Southern Indiana, Kentucky, Southeastern Ohio, West Virginia..... All of them offer spectacular natural beauty and more challenging/interesting (?) riding.

I'm lucky to live right next to one of the prettiest roads for water views. Riding US 1 from Florida City to Key West water on both sides for quite away. 125 miles a tranquility. And at the end mile marker zero is one of the most unique cities.

YUUUUUUUM Stan.....

 

[subeetrikerdon]

I'm from Washington State and I think we have some of the best riding roads in the Nation. The Pacific Ocean, the Olympic Mountains and rainforest's, the North Cascades and if that isn't enough you can be in Northern Idaho, Oregon, Canada and other places in a very short time. :beerchug:

 

[Doc]

Hunterdon County, NJ here...The Watchung Mountains, several State Resivours and some really nice Farmland (not all of NJ looks like the NJ Turnpike at the start of the Sopranos)...and just for some educational value, the #1 Industry in NJ is Horse Farms! Really love the North Jersey Corridor by the Deleware Water Gap, alot of small "old style" towns...gonna spread my Trike Wings soon and hit some more states than I did on 2 wheels ;-)
