Hub-and-spoke might just be my favorite kind of touring. You really get to know an area by camping/lodging in a town and exploring areas within a day's ride. You don't have to lug a bunch of gear on your bike. You can plan your daily rides around the weather, taking advantage of winds or taking a break on a stormy day. You don't have to figure out how to get back home or to your car at the end of the trip.
