Cycling-name provinces/states, countries

[7rider]

Name the areas where you've cycled as a resident/local there, as a tourist, etc.

Hmmm....
I think my list is shamefully short, and concentrated in the Northeast section of the U.S.

* Connecticut - I grew up in the Naugatuck Valley. Never really appreciated that it was truly a VALLEY, until I took up cycling!
* Massachusetts - Lived there for 10 years on the North Shore. Some awesome cycling there - on road and off. I'd love to go back. Oh...and once on Martha's Vineyard as a kid on a bike my sister rented during a family vacation. Got totally LOST...my family had the island's police out looking for me!!! I finally found my way back - about 2 hours later (was supposed to be a 5-minute spin b/f lunch).
* New Hampshire - Had the worst mtb accident ever on an easy trail up in the Whites. Required reconstruction of my knee. Still have the scars.
* Maine - Mostly southern, all coastal.
* Rhode Island - Puttering around Bristol with old college buds.
* New York - Some pretty rides around Dutchess County with my DH. His old stompin' grounds.
* Pennsylvania - How can you live in the Northeast and not cycle around Lancaster County??? A weekend at a B&B there was a wedding present from friends. Brought the bikes, lots of wonderful riding....just stay off the numbered roads!
* Maryland - Current location and site of most of my miles.
* Virginia - A bit, but not much here....I don't like to cross the river! I'm afraid of them over there!
* Hawaii - Okay....once mtb'ing on Kauai. Red dirt?? How about Red MUD!! How about red mud that sticks to the treads of tires like glue and builds and BUILDS until it won't pass through the fork of your bike!!!! Yeah.


I think that's it. Still dreaming of adding Colorado and California to the list. Washington and Oregon are high on the list, too. Then Italy, then France... then......Oh, the places I'd love to go on a bike!!!
