I've taken to thinking of it as my Linear Back Yard. It pretty much captures all my short rides, and acts as a starting and ending NW conveyor for many of the longer ones. There's a downside to this, in that I tend to forget to ride N, E, W, S, and so on, and am always pleasantly surprised when I do...
For the third of the year when most of my riding is done in the dark, the attractions of relative solitude, intimate familiarity with the terrain, and the absence of drunk drivers or harried commuters seems to outweigh the occasional encounter with an Invisible Pedestrian or Blinding Handlebar Radiation. Sometime I'll swear it off for a month, and see what happens.
