What would it be, what could we look for if we're passing through in your area?
And for those in a province or country, what would yours be?
Here's my current favorite... Highway 149, starting from just west of Gunnison, to its termination at South Fork and highway 160. 113 miles of lonely, curvy, sweeping, H-D bliss. It ascends and descends two mountain passes. It snakes along two whitewater rivers, including the headwaters of the Rio Grande. It passes through two historic towns, including Lake City near where Alferd Packer snacked on his buddies when marooned by deep snow one nasty winter.
Every state, every area, has its riding gems. I got a kick out of the grand sweeping and fertile views of Kansas while riding east last July, the manicured towns of Illinois, the lonely reservoirs of eastern Oklahoma, the Kentucky horse country, and much more.
Highway 149. It doesn't have the publicity of some of the more popular routes in the state. This is a good thing
. Ride it if ever in the area.
