Perhaps something a bit different for this page. I have toured over many parts of the USA and Canada so appreciate how you folk love mountains etc. You have some great rides but as much as I love the USA/Canada I must tell you that the roads here are fantastic.
This is the the trip my wife and I made last September through France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. Stunning views with roads to make your mouth water. You can just never get enough.
I live now in Spain where the roads are just as good as the alps, but even less traffic, not that the alps is overcrowded. Road surfaces are perfect black-tops even on little country lanes.
This was our trip at the beginning of December last year. We ride all year as there is no snow in my region of Spain, Costa Blanca.
My wife and I will be back in the USA again this June to ride up to Alaska and back to California, then across States to NY.
