Re: [RBW] Re: How do you find *scenic* routes?

[P W]

Follow other people on Strava, people you don’t know, in other places, who post photos of their rides. Save their routes. P.

Now, no one would think to go to the local bike club for help, but that’s where I have gotten a lot of it. When I’m riding all these miles with people you tend to talk bikes. And a lot of the Michiganders do “bike trips.” So, they share their routes with me and tell me all the hot spots.  The other place worth looking is https://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-cycling-route-network/ You can purchase their routes online or have a physical copy sent. They show different areas of the country and give you a description of what you’ll be seeing.  Once you understand Ride with GPS, it is helpful. Our very own Pam Murray will FaceTime you for a tutorial if you need help getting started (I did!).  Leah On Sunday, September 14, 2025 at 8:25:35 PM UTC-4 Ted Durant wrote: On Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 5:01:47 PM UTC-5 stephen....@gmail.com wrote: I'm looking for things like: tree cover, natural beauty, rolling hills, country roads and stops along the way for great snacks/coffee/adventures.  This doesn't get you all the way there, but I have made use of the global heat maps in Strava and RideWithGPS to identify routes that are popular. Then, as others have mentioned, I'll use Street View where possible to check further. And, of course, I'm always looking for curvy roads in lightly populated areas that go near water features.
