Hi I live in Montreal, Canada and I just can't wait until all the snow melts. I bought me a new bike and I want to try it out on dry roads in the US during Easter(weekend of march 25th).

Can anyone recommend a DRY place, not too cold, in the eastern US. I was thinking driving to Virginia or around that area to a nice safe paved bike road, not to many hills since I mostly wanted to go as fast as I can for as long as I can. I figured driving a day to get there, riding the day after and the following day to get back to Montreal(3 to 4days roundtrip).

Thank's in advance for your help!

Try posting this in the Mid-Atlantic forum area too. That would be the right area for VA, DC and that area. For rides further south there is a book called Best Bike Rides in the South by Skinner but it is for areas further south.

I always wanted to do this one
