Default Trip ideas
i unexpectedly came up with a few weeks leave starting late next week. I am in south Florida. Willing to ride a good distance. Is it getting too cold up north for riding yet ? Wondering if I should stay far south. I’ve done the blue Ridge several times. Was thinking about Arizona or Niagra Falls. But open to ideas. Thanks in advance. Mike

Cold is relative.... how cold is too cold for you? With good gear and heated liners many ride on down, temp wise. Guessing from FL you don't have those....

Mountain elevations might be cold but lower lands should be good. San Antonio hill area and big bend are options on the way to AZ

Some friends in Colorado put pics of snow at 8000 feet on their fakebook page.

thats what I’m looking for. I’ll probably run up the blue ridge parkway to Niagra then swing back down. Unless I come up with another plan.
