I am hoping for some epic bike paths away from traffic.
Roads with with light traffic and nice wide shoulders can be fun, but I feel the car hating crabby ol' curmudgeon coming out when the shoulders get skinny and the traffic volume gets high; the noise the fumes, the cars missing by mere inches. I am hoping for some epic bike paths away from traffic. I don't know of any 1000 mile long bikeways or anything; bike paths tend to only be about 20 miles long or so and spread out a bit (usually by skinny high car volume roads) so out and back stuff sounds best. Do the ride, return to the car, then drive on to the next path system.
