I have a bunch of friends who have taken road bikes and touring bikes across the country. Two dudes I know are in New Mexico right now, they started in Minnesota in November, rode to New Orleans and then headed west.
Another buddy of mine rode down to Austin TX with a crew for a trip and then headed west to Cali, he hitchhikes, walks, and has ridden bikes all over the place.
Two other dudes took road bikes (fancy carbon ones) and rode from St Paul MN to somewhere in Florida in memory of their friend.

have traveled and lived in a van for band tours back in the mid and late 90's. Traveled all over the east coast and midwest.
did Route 66 from Normal Illinois all the way to the Santa Monica Pier years ago. That was awesome.
am starting to plan some bike-packing trips in the future. I have hiked and camped, and done part of the Appalachian Trail, but want to do the same thing while riding

I'm going to the UK dirt series with my friend who's entered. We'll be sleeping in his bus for a couple of nights. It's only a 4 hour drive hahaha. In less than 8 hours you can drive the full length of England though. That trip will be the closest thing to a proper road trip I'll be doing in the near future. And the only one I've done in the past was a long weekend in bristol with a friend. We slept in his car one night, and on friends sofa's the other 2. Done nothing but eat pizza and ride. It was awesome.
Maybe Europe if I come across enough money to take a few months out of work next year though. Barca in the winter would be a treat.
