I want to go to Minnesota, colorado or East coast.
All but Colorado are doable since i have friends in MN and on the east coast
Whether I actually get to is a completely different story. people are very flakey and i don't like imposing

Would be nice to go camping in MN or hiking through Appalachian mountains.

I'm at the beach this week, taking a few surfing lessons starting today, and it is a beautiful day.

I also have a couiple weeks planned in British Columbia for mountain biking and ????, plus I want to check out some places for skiing up there this winter.

September I'll ride the 7 day Cycle Oregon ride, I'm really stoked about that one.

Sounds like you have some nice plans, AJC. Hope you have a great time! :)

As for me, stuck here in NC. Dreaming of a long-needed vacation, but no plans 'til I get some things off my plate. Would love to go to OshKosh in July, but maybe next year....

Heading to Bellingham Washington in mid July to go sailing. My folks have been bugging the wife and I to go sailing with them for some time. We'll be sailing around the San Juan Islands. Should be beautiful.

TG you always have a friend in Colorado :)

Just yesterday planned an 4 day trip to Crested Butte, Colorado camping and mountain biking in July. :) WHOO HOO, I've been wanting to do this for awhile now

Alot of day trips planned with the girls.

Possible two week mountain bike/camping trip end of August but not set in stone.

I'm just excited to get out and explore some of what my great state has to offer :)

Amsterdam for a week (for a conference, but getting to see some friends and colleagues, and do some riding too), and then teaching most of the rest of the summer. A number of local centuries and metrics- the CB tour especially- so all's not lost!

Have you ever been the OshKosh airshow? It's a good time.

I have. I used to have an aunt that live 40+ minutes outside of OshKosh. It's been several years since I've been, but I have been to quite a few shows. Since my aunt moved to Texas I haven't been back to OshKosh. It's a great show.

We're tapped out so pretty much nowhere. If we were to go somewhere it would be someplace dry. We've now had three months of rain and it's only getting wetter.

I'm heading out to the Outer Banks, NC this weekend with bf and bf (boyfriend and best friend). THIS is going to be a crazy trip. If you don't hear from me by Monday, send a search party and bring more lime!

I may have time later this summer to head to my living room for a wild and crazy change of scenery, vs the den or kitchen. :)

Hawaii trip earlier this year has almost tapped me out. A week and a half or so between Yellowstone and Jackson Hole Wyoming later in the summer with the family along with some extended weekend trips locally to national parks.
Will be in Buffalo, NY for a couple weeks in July but that's for business. What's there to do in July in Buffalo besides Niagara Falls?

I'm planning a rather extensive road trip this summer. Step One: Find and buy a car capable of and comfortable in driving for several thousand miles over the course of a few weeks... (The first step is a doozy.)

Why don't you just rent one?

They don't rent the kinds of cars I like. :p

Plus, I need to buy a nice car anyway. (Nice by my definition, that is.)
