Sullivan Lake Road - Washington

One of my readers, Melanie, recently submitted Sullivan Lake Road in Northeast Washington. It loops off of SR 31 and hugs Sullivan Lake. It looks like a winner, but more important, is the excellent description provided by Melanie. She furnishes information on the town of Metaline Falls, as well as the Sullivan Lake area. Thanks Melanie for your creative efforts.

Biker Wisdom

"A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of gasoline."

GPS Files

MotorcycleRoads.US is now providing files to download for your GPS!!! The files are in GPX format. If your GPS does not support GPX, use GPS Babel to convert GPX to a suitable format.

This is an on-going project and additional files are added on a regular basis. A link to download a file is located below the map for each listed road.

We hope this feature is valuable to riders who use GPS.

Americade - 2009

Just spent a few days at Americade in Lake George, NY. This is my 5th trip to Americade and it never disappoints. Hundreds of vendors, demo rides, guided and un-guided rides, seminars, other activities, and, most important of all, the opportunity to share the experience with thousand of other bikers.

New Roads in California

Received a number of roads in California from ‘Grumpa Les’. Most are in Sonoma and Napa counties and they look like great motorcycle roads. I will post them over the next several days.

‘Grumpa Les’ belongs to a group called the Breakfast Riders. This group of riders is different from a club in that it does not have meetings, dues, officers, by-laws, etc. Just a bunch of riders who get together to ride and have fun. Brilliant idea!
