Jenny Lefferts – Chief MAD Hatter

Favorite Road?

It's a toss up between two amazing California roads: Highway 9 south to Santa Cruz or Highway 128 to Mendocino.

Favorite Hot Spot?

There are plenty of great eats along Highway 1 (the Pacific Coast Highway), but I always love cocktails and appetizers at the Cliff House in San Francisco after a long trip.

Christopher Gil – Managing Editor/Production Manager

Favorite Road?

In the U.S., I like Arizona's Highway 17 heading north from Phoenix to Sedona. Overseas, it would have to be Portugal's N-246-1 heading to the incomparable medieval village of Marvão.

Favorite Hot Spot?

I'll take that question literally and answer northern Iceland's Myvatn Nature Baths, a geothermal pool heated to 104 degrees F.

Diana Nankin – Managing Cartographer/Digital Technology

Stewarts Point-Skaggs Springs Road in Sonoma County, California.

The Camera Obscura behind San Francisco's Cliff House.

Rob Pemble – Sales/Fulfillment

The 115-mile Smoky Mountains loop of Cherohala Skyway and Deal's Gap.

Favorite Hot Spot?

Chiriqui, Republic de Panama is spectacular.

Jake Mann – Cartography

Favorite Road?

I can't get enough of the river roads of California's Central Valley, especially Highway 160 in the Delta and Highway 45 north of Colusa.

Favorite Hot Spot?

Midtown Sacramento in the late Spring.

Catherine Ehr – Public Relations/Marketing

Favorite Road?

The long and winding one, of course.

Favorite Hot Spot?

Tungurahua in Ecuador is spectacular.

Michael Kelly – MAD Lieutenant

Favorite Road?

The service roads around Chaco Canyon National Park in New Mexico, which give one the feeling they're driving upon the background of a Road Runner cartoon.

Favorite Hot Spot?

The brutal 112-degree pool at Umpqua Hot Springs, Oregon, at an elevation of 800 meters.

Richard Ditzler – Accountant

Favorite Road?

I'm a Kansas native. There's a great dirt road with no name that goes along the Verdigris River.

Favorite Hot Spot?

The Tetons in Wyoming are a special place.

Jason Welsh – Sales

Favorite Road?

The Devil's Backbone, which is the nickname for Mexico's Highway 40 between Durango and Mazatlan. You have not lived until you've dodged madness on this road, which goes through about five climate zones, rides the ridge-top over and between five canyons and has more curves and turns than a fat man at a nude beach.

Favorite Hot Spot?

Diving off of Pulau Weh, Sumatra, Indonesia (with a close second being the crotch in my leather pants after a long ride).
