Help X. pick a bike vacation!

[Xrayted]

Not sure in PA where you are from, so you may already have had enough of it, but some of the most beautiful biking territory is in central PA around the State College area. It's Amish country with wide rolling valleys and many small, low traffic country roads. There's an old book called 25 bicycle tours in Eastern Pennsylvania, that has a lot of really nice 25 - 60 mile loops in it. It's out of print, but still available on Amazon. And even if you don't want to go on vacation in PA - even from the ends of the state this stuff is still accesible for weekends.

Yeah, I'm from Lancaster County and my goal is to get as far away from it as possible. (Not just geography wise.) It is a beautiful area to bike though and I've been enjoying as much of it as I can. State College area (GO Penn State!) is always teeming with cool activities but I haven't been up since I started riding in Sept b/c of football season. For me, it's a crazy nightmare up there that whole season. If you don't have game tix, ya stay away.

Edit: Found out last night that our beloved Joe Paterno got his leg broken on the side lines this w/e. Healing wishes going out to Jo Pa.
