But most of them are in PA/OH. May spend one race weekend on Lake Erie (but it is in september, so I'll be swimming the beach in my wetsuit!).
But for my spring break (starts friday!) I am going to take a cycle excursion into the Northern Irish countryside. I was going to go to scotland or the continent, but I just can't afford it (had a bit of a fiasco the past few days). I'm going to hire a road bike and some paniers, hit the road and head north to ultimately end up near Portrush/Portstewart/Coleraine and see Giants Causeway. I'm planning on just going up the Antrim Coast and staying in 2 hostels. The treck is about 80 miles one way. I'm not sure if I can managed the whole 80 in one day, but it'd be worth a shot.

Portrush is awesome...if you can, get to the Ramore restaurant. Desserts to die for. =) My husband and I spent about 3 days up there wandering around and loved it. We had hoped to get back up there when we were in Ireland for our wedding but didn't have a chance this time.
