Based out of Fontana, on the west end of Lake Geneva, I probably did most of the roads within a 20 mile distance in any direction. I even took my kid over to the White River Trail for two afternoons. I was getting a bit tired of the whole Lake Geneva thing, until I started bringing my road bike up there last year. Once you get a mile away from the lake, it is desolate rural farm roads, most of them in good to excellent condition. In some areas, I would get passed by a car maybe once an hour. I turned a corner on one spot, and rode pristine asphalt, newly laid with the last year or two, for about 10 miles without seeing another human, be they sitting, standing, walking, or driving a car. Just me going down the middle of the road without a care nor pothole in sight.
