<u>Rides I think would be fun</u>
<blockquote>
<a href="us50 east.gif">US 50</a> to the east coast.   Taking US 50 <a href="us50 west.pdf">west</a> doesn't interest me that much.  We did half of it in 2004.  Update:  Did it on <a href="http://goldwing.eurekaboy.com/east50/east50.htm">this trip</a>.
<p>
<a href="key west.gif">Key West, FL</a>.
<p>
<a href="northern river road.pdf">Northern River Road</a> route that could include the Michigan penisula.
<p>
<a href="southern river road.pdf">Southern River Road</a> route that could include the Natchez Trace Parkway.
<p>
<a href="http://www.usa4corners.org">USA 4 Corners site</a> - riding the <a href="four corners tour.pdf">corners of the USA</a> in 21 days...but I'd like to take longer than 21 days.
<p>
Themed rides - These are rides where there is a common theme for the ride.  A popular one is to visit <a href="civil war battlefields.pdf">Civil War Battlefields</a>.  Another is <a href="capitals.pdf">state capitals</a>.  Other themes could be local towns like <a href="bedford.pdf">Bedford</a>, <a href="fayetteville.pdf">Fayetteville</a>, <a href="eureka.pdf">Eureka</a>, <a href="mitchell.pdf">Mitchell</a>, or <a href="silverville.pdf">Silverville</a>.  Names are also popular.  Mine is <a href="buford.pdf">Buford</a> <a href="stanley.pdf">Standley</a> <a href="wright.pdf">Wright</a>.  If I had unlimited funding and vacation time I could <a href="themes.pdf">do them all</a>.
<p>
<a href="little bit of everything.pdf">Here</a> is a semi-realistic ride that encompasses many things:  
<blockquote>
- US 50 east to the coast<br>
- Washington D.C. sites<br>
- the Chesapeake Bay bridge/tunnel<br>
- many Civil War battlefields<br>
- several themed places...names and cities<br>
- Skyline Drive<br>
- Blue Ridge Parkway<br>
- Jack Daniels' distillery in Lynchburg, TN<br>
- some of the Natchez Trace<br>
- The Trace<br>
- mostly US highways<br>
- could easily accomodate other points of interest
