Need some ideas for a trip Last year did Philly to key west . Than did Philly to Maine, Basically covered the whole east coast. Rode to Sturgis twice, rode down to New Orleans, did Milwaukee a couple of times. did the dragon. I'm not picky I like all kinds off rides, I have only 7 days this year. Anything will be helpful.

Thanks

If you have about 50 hours of riding available, you could go north to Montreal, Quebec City, Gaspé, down to Moncton and Sydney N.S. and then back to Philly through Portland.
It's about a 2800 miles trip.
Welcome to Canada !

Did this trip last year in June, WOW......best were the roads in the Adirondacks...would do it again and actually stay in a cabin the whole week. The roads were meandering with nice curves....and no pot holes.....maybe go up a bit further to the St Lawrence seaway.....maybe a day or two by Lake George and NH....

Head to the "Natural State" Arkansas.

Hot Springs National Park is a nice place for a couple of days. Do all the mountain rides and then head up Hwy 7 north toward Jessieville. Beautiful Ride. Make a stop at Petty Jean Mountain before heading toward the Ozarks. Ride the famous "Pig Trail" and stop in Eureka Springs.

The Natchez Trace is a great ride. Not much traffic, just beautiful country side.

Out through upper West Virginia to Kentucky and tour some distilleries along the Bourbon Trail, Corvette factory tour in Bowling Green and check out a life size replica of Noah's Arc in Williamstown. Swing down to Nashville and back up through lower West Virginia.

Don't know how old you are, but I want to do a fall foliage tour of the east coast.

Head to UP Michigan, cross the Mackinaw Bridge, Rt 123 to Paradise (watch for bears and lots of wildlife) and Tahquanemon Falls (often called Copper Falls), Grand Marais, ride H58 to Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, Rt 28 to Marquette, Rt 41 to Copper Harbour to start of Rt 41 sign (interesting bridge going thru Hancock & Haughton) Rt 41 south of Copper Harbour is a nice sweeping road, Rts 41/26 to Ontonagon to Porcupine Mountains and Lake in the Clouds, find Rt 2 at Wakefield, follow Rt 2 back to St Ignance. I wouldn't waste time on Tunnel of Trees (Rt 119) in lower MI, overgrown, not that scenic plus too many sightseers in convertibles. Do stop for lunch, snack or dinner at Legs Inn, interesting Polish restaurant near Cross Village with beautiful views and landscaping.
