One of my favorites! I look forward to my annual Colorado ride and this is a must each year.

In Arkansas, one of the best roads is Hwy 7.
From Euerka Springs to Hot Springs.

So far my best riding hasn't been in the States but rather Canada, specifically Cape Breton's Cabot Trail. Going to Americade in Lake George NY in June so I hope to find some nice riding there.

Around my parts best riding is North of Washington's Crossing in Trenton. 29 along the river is nice but the secondary offshoots are even better. On the other side in PA, Bucks county has some nice riding with alot of historic covered bridges.

Not sure which stretch of 36 Den's referring to, but I can say from experience that hwy. 36 between Red Bluff and Susanville is a nice ride.
