Every spring I start thinking again about finding new places to ride and what should be my big ride for the year. So it seems appropriate to start a new series of posts on route and ride finding. Many of these posts will be biased toward Maine, New Hampshire, and Atlantic Canada but many will also be much more general like today’s.
A nice place to start looking for rides is Pedaling.com. What sets Pedaling.com apart from other sites is the breath of coverage and their internal search engine. On their site, you can search the world for rides and you can search by ride characteristic.
The ride characteristics that you can search in Pedaling.com’s Search Tool are:
1. State
2. Region of State
3. Environment
4. Length of Ride
5. Traffic
6. Up and Down
7. Ride Shots

I urge you to visit this site and post your favorite rides. Posting your rides is how you can pay back for the pleasure you have gotten from the rides others have posted.
Enjoy the Ride …. Roland
