Riding To Different Places

[emily_in_nc]

Congrats VV, sounds like you two had a great ride! Sorry but I can't relate to being anxious on rides to new territories. I love riding a new and unfamiliar trail and the sense of adventure and exploration. The only time I might be a wee bit anxious is if the area is remote and I am riding by myself and it's later in the day and I haven't seen another person in a half hour or so, that can get a little bit spooky. Otherwise, I am never happier than when I am going on a ride to a place I've never been before. First rides are so pristine for me, I love the sense of "what lies around the next bend."

This is me to a "t". As long as the area is safe, I love the discovery of a new road or place to ride and the sights along the way. I like not knowing exactly what is coming up ahead (within reason, of course!) Often when I ride roads familiar to me, I'll turn on a road I've never ridden before just to check it out. DH is more likely to just take the same route he knows over and over.
