I happened to see a link to this nice little article in Facebook last week. This has been one of my favourite riding areas for the past 20 years or so. Lots of nice curvy roads (any road with the number 4) and it's within a day's ride from the arrow-straight roads of Southwestern Ontario. Hmm...maybe a good location for a Northeast FJ Rally...

There was a PBS documentary in the early '90's called "Pennsylvania Diners". My wife and I were dating and we watched it together and used it to plan several trips in Pa over several summers. We had a great time. We stayed in Wellsboro a lot. Now there is a lot of truck traffic on route 6 from the gas drilling. But there's still a lot of nice roads. I rode to WVa last spring on a bunch of little roads and I'm looking forward to doing it again this spring.

 I must agree with Zwartie. The roads in Pennsylvania are amazing. Last summer we spent almost three days wandering around from one nice twisty road to another. We twice did over 500 k to get less than 300 k closer to our destination simply because we kept turning onto interesting roads in the wrong direction.

Just saw this device being marketed by Aerostich to help you all find those "Interesting" roads.

Use with caution, and not while riding.

Hmm...looks to have the same basic geometry as my handlebars. I'll save the dough and trust them to find the twisty roads.  :-)
