What say you?
I’m retiring May 1st 2025. Gonna go on a 4-6 week solo trip from Winchester Va starting May15th.
Only destinations planned are Key West in the beginning and Cape Breton on the return. Help plan my trip. I do need to stop in San Jose for family but rest is wide open.

Congratulations, I planning to hang it up on March 31, 2025.
My only comment on Florida and Key West is get down there and out before June. I’ve spent a lot of time in Florida on two wheels and boating. Summer is no fun with the heat and the daily pop up showers. Isle Islamorada is a great place to stay. Easy one day ride to KW and back without being in the middle of all the crazy.
The Best KW trip we did on two wheels was in December. We rode down from I-I on Christmas Day to KW in a t-shirt.
Sounds like an awesome ride!

kojak, my only suggestion is WV & western NC. One of my favorites is 33 out of Harrisonburg, all the way to Seneca Rocks, but since you're in Winchester you've probably been on it a few times! Personally, I hate 81 and I avoid it like the plague. After you hit WV, pick a road & work your way over to Beckley & down 77. Then 81 to 26, and a few roads in NC. That's all I can offer! I love WV & western NC, and try to get there a couple times every summer from upstate PA.

Yup, I'm thinking the same way on the way back.

Thanks Kevin. Ive ridden most of the areas in Colorado, Utah, S Dakota, Wyoming, Montana. i'm just trying to thread together a doable ride plan from Va to Key West to San Jose and back east to Cape Breton and then down to Va. Think of it as a 3 corners ride. Key West, San Jose, NS. I have little interest in riding in the south and south west outside of making the trek to Key West. From FL, I will probably start a NW trek to the west coast and I like the idea of going up to Vancouver and riding back east through Jasper/Banff.
