I live in Chattanooga (Wife had friends here and now owns a business) and to be quite frank, it sucks!! 46th in US in quality of medical care, way overpriced Dentists, just plain expensive, hot......and any place that can screw up McDonald's pancakes sucks!!--.---Sick here....they like to give you pills you probably do not need. Try to get a decent tap beer here?
Riding can be ok, a bit dangerous because of the horrible drivers and their manners!!----But once you have seen all the places/stuff are they worth returning to? For 2 wheel riders---Trailer Bikers can make it very dangerous on weekends in the mountains.

My experience has been completely different than yours. OK, there are some horrible drivers here but having lived all over the country that is not unique to the south. Maybe Huntsville is different from Chattanooga but if haven't heard any complaints about Chattanooga from the people who live there on other forums.
As far as returning to places I have already seen, I love to ride and I can ride a great road hundreds of times and not get tired of it. On top of that there are so many roads around here that after riding this area since 1990 I still keep finding roads I haven't ridden before. Even if I ride another 25 years I know I will never ride them all.....but I am going to try!
On top of that, for me riding is not just the roads, it's also the people. Riding is a great way to meet other interesting people. I go on rides with other people as well as meeting random people at the places I stop.
For example I set up a ride for yesterday. 4 other people showed up. I knew 2 of the people and 2 I hadn't.
we rode some fun roads. I just discovered some of the roads we did a few weeks earlier. We passed a number of roads I have yet to ride down.

I just rode many of these roads last week but I enjoyed riding them again.
