A fellow Spyder Ryder turned me onto them a few years ago.

By the book; National Geographics America's Scenic Byways. There are about 270 great rides in there. I have done about half and intend to do the rest.

1400 miles north of you is Prince George, BC. Anything East, West, or North of that point is terrific… starting about 400 miles North, isn't bad either….

One of the best sites for California rides is Pashnit - http://www.pashnit.com/
There is a subscription requirement to get full ride details, but the maps can be accessed without sign up. They also have great sales on gear from time to time.

This is a good question for any city and state...when planning spyder trips are any of you mapping out gas stations too? Or do you just assume you will find them as you go?

I do roughly plan gas stops for a long distance trip, just to get an idea of where I have to be careful so I don't run out. I use Microsoft Streets and Trips.

There's a cool App for the iphone called "Greatest Motorcycle Rides" it's FREE and has rides submitted by users all over the country, you can also track and upload your own. Can't beat the price.

Living out west it is never good to assume you are going to find gas when you need it. I use a $75 Garmin Nuvi GPS that tells how far and which direction the next gas is. I generally fill up every two hours on the road. At 150 miles I have to KNOW where the next gas staion is. I have only run out once and that was about a half mile from a station on I5 of all places.

To the OP, you're in San Diego - There are a lot of good canyon roads east of town, up in north county, and of course, ACH, Palomar and Muholland. http://www.motorcycleroads.com/Route...fornia_80.html

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

Paper maps are useful and are available direct from Rand McNally's website
www.randmcnally.com/
Using other sources like butler, Google maps, road atlas, a specific map can be made for each ride and it's good to save them for future ride planning.
