Southeast Ohio near Marietta, US Route 50 through Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and into DC, Skyline Drive and The Blue Ridge Parkway thru Virginia and North Carolina, The Cherahola Skyway, The Tail of the Dragon and The Hellbender 28 in North Carolina, US Route 6 (The Grand Army of the Republic Highway) in northern Pennsylvania. Pretty much any turn you make on a bike. Try the second road to the left. There is an adventure waiting around the next turn.

This link has great explanations of every state road in Wisconsin. With details on where to stop, where to eat. A great link
take 67 north for a nice trip. Stop at Suhlmers in Eagle. Nice rides through the Kettle Moraine
you can spend days or just half a day

There are just so many places to see in this country. Start by touring some of the national parks. The rides to, from, in, and around the parks are spectacular. The national forests are also great. Pick any destination in the 50 states and you'll be surprised on how each state has some really beautiful roads to ride on and all have great destinations. Just pick a state and ride. Enjoy.

If you want to stay a year or two I've heard the border between Iraq and Iran is pretty.
