Go to best biking roads and look there. It might give you some more ideas. I am partial to SW Colorado & California. There are so many good places to ride in California it is like paradise here. OTOH when I lived in Albuquerque there were a lot of good riding in New Mexico.
Around Santa Fe & Taos you can have some great fun and then ride up into SW Colorado. I really like the area around Durango and Silverton and most of the riding is around 10,000' and up so time of year is critical.
I think timing in so many places is critical from either weather or tourists' perspective. Some great places to ride get clogged with motorhomes and sometimes a lot of traffic so take that into consideration. I just thought of another ride, to the top of Pike's Peak. Definitely a nice ride and the view from the top is pretty amazing.
Don't forget PCH either. Pacific Coast Highway. It it truly is one of the world's best rides. The area around Monterey/Carmel is quite amazing and the views are spectacular. I would suggest riding from North to South for better views. A lot of nice "side roads" all along PCH as well to just wander around.
