A few years ago, I wrote about a website that the federal government did right. The Federal Highway Administration’s America’s Byways website is a good place to look for roads to ride. I use this website often to find interesting roads to travel while at or on the way to or from my destination. 

The website has both roads designated as American Byways and All-American Roads.  The homepage describes the differences between the two types of roads.  

I am revisiting this website because they have added forty new roads to the list that now totals 184 byways for us to travel. You can discover the roads by clicking on the state you want to travel and see what National Bayway or All-American roads are there for you to explore.

The following are a few examples of the new roads added to list and might make my bucket list:

Cascade Loop, Washington – 440 miles

Newfound Gap Road Byway, Tennessee – 50 miles

Door County Costal Byway, Wisconsin – 67 miles

Trail of the Ancients, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico  – 480 miles

Bayou Teche Scenic Byway, Louisiana – 296 miles

Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway, Nebraska – 438 miles

If you do not have National Scenic Byways & All-American Roads website in your riding toolbox… do it now!

This is NOT one of those typical helmet cam “adventure” video’s.  These guys had an actual camera man as part of the team.  Due to this fact the Globeriders Iceland Adventure a Motorcycle Tour of Iceland video is a lot better than most.   

I enjoyed the show.  It was quite well constructed and organized.  The editing and sound was good.  The star of the show were not the riders or the bikes it was Iceland itself. It was a lot of fun to watch them interact with the terrain and some of the Icelandic population.

While I am not fully invested into doing the adventure biking “thing”, I prefer paved road trips, I am quite enamored with the concept.  The thought of getting a bike of this style and heading out to the off roads is quite appealing.

But for now, I have added Iceland’s Ring Road to my bucket list of rides. 

The Globeriders have documented many other exotic rides beyond the Iceland adventure.  They also host tours to these interesting locals. Check out their website here if so inclined.  

I watched this show via Amazon Prime and give it 4 Stars.

The best part of the 2017 motorcycle riding season is nearly over for this year.  But we did put a dent into our motorcycle bucket list! We love touring these places by motorcycle. 

During out 2017 motorcycle vacation we made it to Nigeria Falls and Mount Washington.  We also knocked out the Appalachian Waters Scenic Byway.  All three were on our bucket list. 

Because we knocked a few items off the list I added a couple more.  I added Mount Rushmore, Beartooth Pass and US Route 50 coast to coast to our motorcycle bucket list! 

What’s on your list?
