Good place to ride in December (is there one)?
My best friend is coming home from Iraq in December, but only for 4 weeks. I want to plan a 4-5 day ride while he's home, but I'm concerned about the weather. Not worried about the cold (I can dress for that), but I do want to stay away from snow without avoiding curves and hills. Does anyone know of a good ride in the Southeast (leaving from Jacksonville, FL) where snow won't be a concern. I know that staying in Florida is the obvious answer, but I can't tolerate anymore straight flatlands!

Kind of a crap shoot in the southeast in december. Here in SC, I have played golf in shorts after christmas or dug out of the snow. For what it's worth, the weather nerds say a warmer than normal and dryer than normal winter if you trust them. Something about El Nino

The roads here in Louisiana are terrible. I have rode to most of the major cities in La. and have yet to find a nice road for riding. Now if you can manage and do get to TX theres lots of nice riding. If you have to be back in 5 days thats not leaving alot of time to enjoy yourself. Id stick to GA,AL FL area. North of Atlanta has some good riding but you need to watch for snow. Around Warm Springs Ga is nice riding on FDR parkway.

Perhaps the following link "http://www.byways.org/" may help you in getting ideas. Thank your best friend for his service.

Too many liberals. Besides, I'm afraid the DMV wouldn't get my bike registration right. Their government offices tend to lose important paperwork, like birth cetificates. Sorry, is that considered political?
