I recently did Western Express meeting with Transam....

My favorite bits

Nevada (Highway 50) - enjoyed the wide open spaces and solitude of the desert
Western Colorado and the Rockies - stunning scenery and very refreshing after the heat and dryness of the Utah
Kentucky - I loved the countryside and the Appalachian foothills - lots of interstign things (and people) to look at. I was expecting it to be horrible after everything I had heard, so it was such a pleasant surprise


Least favorite bits

Eastern Colorado - dead boring. Just dirt, dust and dead towns
Kansas - had strong headwinds the whole way across, with the same scenery and identical towns for days, and hated the long flat sections into the wind. Might have enjoyed it otherwise.
Eastern Virginia - I deviated from the ACA route to go to DC and picked some bad roads - very busy with no shoulder and had some near misses
Utah - the scenery was stunning, but by the end I was geeting tired of the endless going up and down steep canyons in the extreme heat (and having to carry water for the whole day)
