About Layne Rider

I'm Layne Rider (editor@favoriteroad.com), Website Editor for www.favoriteroad.com. I'm obsessed with the open road and want to hear stories about your favorite roads. I want to see pics of the amazing roads you see out there. Share your favorite road on the site and you may win fun prizes or FREE stuff. We feature stories from the road, "roadies" from the road, interesting information that a road trip junkie just might need or want, and we promote ASPHALT any chance we can. Enjoy the site and most importantly.... enjoy the open road!
