Wanted: Road trip ideas
Wife and I are taking off for six days over the first weekend in October. Planning on flying to a location and renting a bike. We want to stay in one location and take day trips for scenic rides. Looking for locations that meet these requirements and offer a good chance of decent weather.
It would be great to hear ideas for locales. Either places you've visited or live.
Thanks in advance!

I'll throw a plug in for my neck of the woods....panhandle of Florida.
By October most of the tourists are gone so the roads aren't so full and hotel rates have dropped, the weather has cooled off a bit, there are some great beach rides such as down 30-A, Navarre, Apalachicola, Port St. Joe / Cape San Blas, etc. \\; Also, around the Big Bend there are lots of old style two lane blacktops through pine forests.
