Favorite ride close to home

[RayBJ]

Central NJ has hundreds of miles of country roads to enjoy sweepers and open roads. Western Monmouth County and the Pine Barrens in Ocean County are full day trips. Eastern PA is only an hour away and has outstanding twisty back roads to play on as well. One especially fun road is PA 339 to Bloomsbury, Pa.

I have to agree with you on riding in NW Arkansas/Missouri... we always go to the Black Hills in SD each year cuz we like to ride there.. even did the Sturgis event this year..
HOWEVER, we recently did the Lamonster Garage gig and did two full days of riding from Nexa, MO into Arkansas and must say it was one of the best riding experiences we have ever had.. we did have a good ride leader that took us everywhere.. I don't know if there is even one block of straight road in your area as it was left and right and up and down constantly... we did about 250 miles one day and 200 another day..
we stayed in Branson and will be back next year for some more of that great riding..

I hear your plight about no curvy roads... I live in "flatland" Nebraska!!!
However, just an FYI for you, when you have time try the Loess Hills that stretch from the Minnesota border to the Missouri border along the Western edge of Iowa.. we are NISR (Nebraska Iowa Spyder Ryders) and we ride the Loess Hills between Sioux City and Council Bluffs and South to Hamburg frequently.. Lots of great scenery, curvy and hilly roads - all hard surfaced.. Unfortunately, our riding year is coming to a close with the cool fall weather????????
Look for NISR on Facebook in the spring and maybe you can join one of our monthly rides..

Big F , I absolutely agree with your assessment of the roads in that area ..... did you do " Peel's Ferry " ???? .... town highway " H " in the Mark Twain forest ( in Mo. ) ....... Mike :thumbup:

I live in the valley of the Sierra Nevadas, close to Lake Tahoe.

Pretty much anywhere I point my bike towards the mountains is a good ride.

Lucky me !!

Plus, while my bike does her winter hibernation, I can ski/snowboard at some of the best ski resorts in the country. Again, lucky me !!!!
