More and more I need to find new places to ride. After so many years, the same old routes don't motivate me like they used to. I think that's one reason I have trying to work in more loaded touring in new areas, or at least areas I haven't been to recently. I crossed PA last year via the GAP and mainly Bike Route S. In June I went to Montana for a modified loop I had done in 2011. In a few weeks I hope to ride from Vienna, OH home to Philly mostly via areas I have never ridden through or haven't ridden through in some 16 years.
