Nope. I'm too much of a planner. I have a list of places I'd like to tour someday, mostly based on other people's accounts or ACA routes. Where I end up usually depends on time, money, family responsibilities, etc.

One tour I'd like to do, however, would be one that uses as little fossil fuel as possible. In other words, a tour that would start and end at my front door, with no driving, flying, train travel, etc. I used to do a lot of that when I lived in Washington state, but from here on the central coast I can either go up and down the coast, or take a few days to cross the valley to get into the Sierras. But I've figures possible routes. I'll do it someday.

There is one random thing I like to do on my bike. When I move to a new locale I like to get on my bike, head out in a random direction, turn on to different streets at random, and just wander. I've seen lots of interesting stuff doing this and really gotten to know my new town. Unfortunately, after you've lived in one place for awhile there aren't many opportunities to go to unknown places anymore because you know every place.
