Easy Camp/Ride winter

[JB]

I'm thinking about heading south for a few days and doing some riding.  I live in northern Michigan.  I'd like to go some place that's gets me out of the snow.  I'd like to camp in one place and day ride 2/3 days.

Any suggestions?

I'm originally from northern Michigan, and depending what you mean by that (Copper Harbor or Gaylord?) the driving distances could be radically different... I rode the country roads between Fredericksburg and Richmond, VA, a few winters ago, and found them pleasant enough. Or maybe just a bit farther south to Asheville, NC? Both should be drive-able in a day or two for a road warrior.

If you're getting on a plane for warm sunshine, go to San Diego or Las Vegas or Austin. Puerto Rico is a surpridingly affordable treat, too, and the backroads on the island are amazing.

Here in Dayton, Ohio I am actually considering a trip to the UP.  Not with a bike though, I was there taking pictures of lighthouses a few months ago and am considering trying to get some of the same shots in the winter.

 

As far as a place to ride, southwest Ohio is snow free but cold, highs in the 30s and lows in the high teens.   Maybe southern Kentucky or Western North Carolina in and around the national parks.

Just going to drive this trip.  Know of any campgrounds in the Fredericksburg area?

Kentucky would be very doable.  Any suggestions on where to camp?
