Doesn't sound like you have any goals? You have to figure out what you want to do and why you want to ride. Is it to relieve the stress of your job, or to get in shape, to enjoy the outdoors, to have social time with the friends you ride with... you have to find the "soul" of your ride. I can think of all these goals, because they are all mine ...

I think that where you ride is just a logistic. Why you ride is more important.
