I haven't been to the Texas Big Bend area ? Is there enough day rides in the area ?
I haven't been to West Oklahoma either ?

There is the road to Dalton GA. we haven't road also ?

The Two Wheels of Suches GA (North-central GA), has Day rides in any directions a person would want to go ! It's about 1/2 days ride south of the Dragon Central.
