Mountain Biking - Road Trip Destinations?

Was reading the latest issue of BIKE magazine and the editors went on a 20 day road trip.

Where would you go? What are some of the spot you would want to drive to?

Me?

I love riding in Pisgah, NC, then over to CO, hit Moab and up to Tahoe. From there if I still had time and money, I'd keep going to B.C. and visit Maelstrom.

Ya I would probally have to pack up and go to BC with some friends its so nice there.

lol, that makes me feel good to live in B.C. I could have gone up to Whistler Tuesday, but becuase of an injury I am unable to fulfull my dream. Ganna have it till next year, but I am already ready for dissapointment.

Hi,
pick a town that would serve as a really good place for a day off the bike.
I like Camden Maine, Middlebury Vermont, North Conway NH. They are all walkable, have good restaurants and a movie theater.

All you have to do is to make a trip with that as a stop somewhere in the middle. For example, you could ride around Lake Champlaign. Which is a real nice ride. You could fly into Portland Maine and ride up to Acadia National Park and fly out of Bangor. I have some suggestions if you do. From Conway there is the Kancamangus, the White Mountains, northern NH with perhaps a jaunt into
Canada.

Every year in August we take about a week and do a ride like that.

A2 would pick me up in Pisgah and I would ride with him the rest of the way.

Heck yeah! Pick up different people along the way. End up with a 10 vehicle caravan by the time we pull up to Mael's house!

Works for me..backroom, loft and a wood shed...yep I think I have room...my gf would hate me for a week...but she would forgive me :D

We'd bring her some flowers or some chocolate!!!!
She'd love us!!!

I would love to ride kamloops..(sun peaks)...possibly move on to utah...and for some reason I wouldn't mind visiting plattekill.

You guys should plan this for next may june ;) :D...I know gastro was here and he had a blast. I would have to stock up on steaks for sure :)

OK, here's the deal; you guys gotta swing the caravan through Spokane. From here, it should go north to Nelson, BC, then over to the wet side to catch Galbraith Mtn at Bellingham for a warmup and finally wind up on Maelstrom's doorstep at Whistler. Ahh, I could really see this taking shape . . .

Sounds good, now all I have to do is win that lottery!


Hmmm,.......maybe I should buy a ticket every so often.

Man I totally forgot that I have reletives in Kamloops that I am probally going to visit next summer! wow thats gunna be awesome.

Locally, Tahoe and Downiville, and Ive already spent 4 days in Downiville this year.

A real get away? Whistler.

Me and a friend of mine might be heading up to Whister next year, becuase I could go up there today on the account of I have injured my self.

Yeah, you mentioned that a few posts ago. :rolleyes:


This (http://www.sportsmobile.com/3_bikes.html) is the van model the Bike mag folks took on their road trip, pretty cool.

I am going to New River West Virginia this weekend. It is pretty good for the eastern part of the states.
Quite a few trails to hit and the scenery is great..

I'm looking forward to some trails I know in the Pocono area of Pennsylvania. They're nothing extreme, but moderate long old logging trails around some lakes and through heavily wooded areas.
A very peaceful ride in nature.

I have a trip planned for Utah, but may have to push it back to next May.

I was in Pa back in May and these are a couple of the shots from around the lake.
