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

I'm heading from St. Louis towards the Grand Canyon next Wednesday. I'll let you know about the weather.

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

Check out Bridge Day at New River Gorge Bridge in WV on Saturday the 20th. The 1 day a year it's legal to base jump from the bridge. It's a fun day. 6 of us riding down from upstate PA.

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

Default Thanks
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.
