Awesome, this is GREAT info, just what I was looking for - descriptions of good rides in the area.

Thanks everyone else for the comments so far, too. I don't really want to trust my bike to a cardboard shipping box, especially in the hands of airport baggage people. (This is unfortunate, since I have piles of empty cardboard bike boxes in the garage!)

And I don't exactly have any awesome LBSs in my neck of the woods, so I doubt any would rent a bike box, but I hadn't thought of that - so I'll ask around.

Still interested in hearing if any shops in the area rent nice road bikes. . .
