Need to ride...

I know that it is winter but I live in San Diego so riding all year long is usually not a problem. Have ridden most of the rideable roads in California this time of year but I need to get out and ride something. Does anyone know if any of the good roads have been resurfaced recently? The good California roads are always fun to ride but when they are fresh they are some of the greatest rides in the world. Maybe there is a web site that gives info on recently resurfaced roads.
If I can't find one I might figure out how to get the info and include the info in my blog. At least for California. The rest of the states are going to have to help me out a little. I depend upon motorcycleroads.com when I am going out of the western states. They do a really good job of chronicling good riding roads all over the country.

Back from the great frozen South

Like everyone we traveled over the Christmas and New Years holidays. OK so not everyone goes to Antarctica for the holidays.
I have now crossed both polar circles. Unfortunately I could not ride to this one. We did meet a group of six riders from Brazil who had ridden their KTM Adventure bikes down to Ushuaia, Argentina. Ushuaia is about as far south as you can ride. You actually have to take a ferry boat across the Beagle Channel to get there but it is the furthest south that you can ride to a city.
