Default Weekend Getaway

My wife and I have MLK day off and we are in NJ. I would like to fly and ride. Any suggestions on a nice 3 dayer for the middle of January? Need to rent a bagger and stay in hotels.

Fly to LA and ride the southern CA deserts. Death Valley or the Anza-Borrego state park. Southern Arizona can be a great winter ride too, fly to Tucson or Phoenix and ride to Jerome and Tombstone. The California coastline, CA 1 can be either nice or miserable in January, have to check that day by day.
