Go to crazyguyonabike to gauge what people's favourite routes are in the US.

What you don't seem to understand is that we have absolutely no idea of what might appeal to you. So if you pick one that a poster eulogises and go ride it, the chances are you might find it awful. And what you choose might well be something I wouldn't want to do. It all relates to timing, circumstance and personal interests/outlook.

Or are you prospecting for information for some other reason?
