    But....the BRP is gorgeous, the speed limit is only 45 mph & it's a fun ride. Read about it in the Bicycling Mag. ("Best Road in America")

    I guess some would say that there is some humidity here... I moved here from Tampa, so this place seems pretty arid to me!

    'Nuff said, GLC! I can see why you think NC is comfortable.

    Virginia is about the same - travel to the northern end of the BRP & I am located just east of the Skyline Drive. Wonderful roads, great traffic (for the most part).....great cycling, lousy humidity

    Boise, Idaho.

    Hills/mountains nearby if we want them, winter nearby if we want to play in it, 250+ days of sun a year, very little rain, a humid day is like 30%,

    It just doesn't get better!

    I do like Boise...is the wind just sometimes, or more or less always?

    Wind in the Boise area? Well, yeah, sometimes -- we had some today, and lots earlier this week. Not enough to keep us from riding usually. Seems like the whole country's in a windy pattern lately -- and we're joining right in!

    I am so grateful for all your wonderful replies! I did FindMySpot.com, or whatever that site was, and when I can remember to find my list, I will put it on here in case any of you live there and can fill me in on the towns!
