My criteria for a good ride is that it should include a mixture of quiet roads, nice scenery, and hills. Below are my favorite rides. Be warned that some of these rides are in remote areas and are very strenuous and you need to be very fit to ride these.Some words of caution:
Be prepared for any possible weather conditions.
Be prepared for calorie and hydration requirements.
Always be prepared to ride out of any place you ride into!
These are not route slips! Always take a good map along!
All mileage and elevation gains are estimated.
