How about posting some maps about your favorite places to ride?  This may be an obvious one, but it's so much fun.

My girlfriend used to live in the Wrightwood area so i had an excuse to make the trip at least once a week.  She'd always complain, "why does it take you a couple hours to get here?"  

Heh. Another CT dude. (I know there's a member location dealy).
I like to ride through Harwinton and around the Bristol reservoir. That's the only good part of Bristol. I've been know to ride where ever the road takes me though. I like having a route though as one time I almost ended up taking a back road into Mass. (There was no sign as a warning and Mass. requires brain buckets.)

From out West, I vote for The Lemon.

Any or all of coastal Hwy 1 from San Jose Del Cabo, Baja to Westport, WA.   It's about the same distance as crossing the states from coast to coast, but every mile is awsome.

Another favorite is the 4 Sierra mountain passes: Hwy 50, Hwy 4, Hwy 108, and Hwy 120.   I've done all 4 in a weekend with a Saturday nite campout in the middle.  The passes are especially good in the Autumn when the Aspens on the Nevada side of the Sierras turn yellow / orange.

BTW, a lot of folks don't know this, but old Hwy 50 starts in Sacramento, CA and can be traced all the way across the US to the Atlantic at Ocean City, Maryland.  The thing is, it's not an Interstate Hwy, per se.

Haven't learned to post pics or maps (closet Luddite), but:

Rt. 89 south out of Prescott, AZ to Kirkland Junction, then (Yavapai) CR 15 to Kirkland, then up Iron Springs Road through Skull Valley and back into Prescott. Or the reverse. Begins & ends in Ponderosa pine country, drops from 5300' elevation to about 4000' (high grass land) & back. Great roads, little traffic, stunning country. About 53 miles of superior therapy.

Decades of excuses for not getting a bike (mortgage, kids, the usual), were rendered irrelevant when I moved to within 1/4 mile of the beginning of the above loop.

The North Fork of Long Island, NY. Past all of the vineyards and on to Claudios located in GreenPort.

Why, Shakertown of course, that is unless someone knows of a Thumperville or the like.

Vermont state Rt.100...from the Quebec border to the Mass. state line. Right down the center of the state and right down the spine of the green mountains. Beautiful.
