Virtual Bike Ride Across the Country

I am doing a virtual bike ride across the country. Basically, all the miles I log on the bike are plotted on a map at http://www.mapmyride.com/. It's a fun way to keep track of the miles I ride and gives me a goal to reach versus mindlessly droning on and on with no purpose. Once I hit Raliegh, NC, I wll head west on along interstate 40. If you know of any interesting places that i should virtually see or any friends or family along the route you'd like me to virtually check in on, please let me know. I've already been given the name of a steak house in Barstow, CA. I hope to post intersting stories of my virtual trek across the country.
