In researching for the Transamerica bike trip that I took a couple years back, I ran across this guy's flickr and was floored. Larry Hammar (hammarhead2) was a cycling tour guide (and maybe still is?), leading groups across the country, through Canada and the Yukon, to Alaska and everywhere in between, from the Bikecentennial '76 onward. It took me probably 30 minutes to choose this photo above because they're all so good. When we were on our trip out west we still saw a few of those original 76 Bike Route signs. Some things really don't change all that much, and trips like these remind you of that. Check out all the photos, then start planning a bike trip with your friends. That groundhog didn't see his shadow, you know.
