Anyone done any cool roadtrips?

Nothing too spectacular, except.

Gibraltar -> Granda --> Murcia --> Almeria -> Valencia --> Benicassim (Festival for 6 days) --> Barcelona (3 day break) and back down, stopped just before Granada at Guadix for a Trackday (also where many spaghetti westerns were filmed & people stil live in cave homes, albeit s****y ones).

A right laugh, done it 5 times for the festival, Trackday one was in the CTR.
 
a few years ago had a 2 week road trip in the US. Started in LA, to San Diego then took an inland route up through various random places until we reached Vegas, then came back down on a more coastal route. Was a good experience, caught the X Games in San Diego, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon and lots of other cool stuff along the way
 
San Diego - LA - San Fran (Highway 1) was Awesome
Phoneix - Las Vegas via Grand Canyon, and LV to Death Valley and Back was also Awesome
Miami - Key West - Orlando - St Augustine Awesome some more

Hopefully going back for some more next year, currently looking at Boston - Montreal - Ottwa - Toronto - Niagra Falls - Washington - Phillidelphia - New York.
 
Went on a 2 week road trip around europe in September in the RX8, covered 2200 miles averaging 21MPG. Route was:

Dover-Dunkerque-Germany (Nurburgring)-Luxembourg-Metz-Strasbourg-Switzerland (Interlaken)-Italy (Via Stelvio Pass)-Monaco/Nice/Cannes-Valence-Paris-Calais-Dover

Was awesome, would definately reccommend it and probably will do something similar again.
 
Did a trip on the bike a couple of years ago which looked like:

Rosyth > Zeebrugge > Nurburgring / Nurburg > Zurich > GrimselPass > Lakes > Modena > Maranello > And back.

I had a couple of weeks off work so thought I'd put some ££ on the credit card and just disapear for a while. Was a great trip but a little lonely on my own! Would do it again but would plan it a bit more in advance so I could go with a few other people.
 
Did Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and back this summer in a rented Mustang, we visited the Hoover damn and poped into Seligman the town upon which Pixar based Radiator Springs in cars. Was an awsome experience to be driving a big American car through sleep little towns and down bar straight highways all the time listening to a mixture of classic American Rock.
 
Ive done similar - LA to > Palm Springs > Las Vegas - flew to San Fran then drove San Fran to LA along the pacific coast highway.
I loved the epic hugeness of the deserty/plainy areas, quite jaw dropping.

Ive done London to Glasgow loads of time, most as a point to point to get it done but have road tripped it with mates and took 2 days including stop offs.

Also have done London > Paris > Malaga > Cadiz > Tenerife(ferry, not a Lotus Esprit submarine!) in 5 days - was utterly knackering but good fun, done in a Audi 200 Quattro, properly bargetastic.

I kind of did one today - City Of London to Birmingham in just under 2 hours on the CBR, amazed the weather held off, cold but sunny and dry all the way.
Loving the new Battlax BT021 on the front :-D

Road trips are the epic win!

I'll see your road and raise it to the one I drove on below in Nevada 2005.

I've been on similar roads, drove from LA down to san francisco. Certainly no the most exciting drive. Those desert roads are painful.
 
US here too.

Last year i did Atlantic City to San Francisco with a little detour to Seattle. Also did Raleigh NC to DC, San Francisco, LA and Vegas. Had a spare week so did Vegas and Phoenix.

Year before i did Dallas, Houston and New Orleons.
 
I have thought about doing an epic euro trip, but the cost would just be hillarious.

Ideally I'd hit as many countries as possible, ideally doing a track day on a major circuit in each country ...
