I can ride directly from my house, with snowmobile trails darting into the woods about 2 houses down from me. However a few times this summer, my wife and I have gotten a babysitter, threw the bikes on the rack, and driven off to try new places to ride. We've checked out some places as close as the next town over and as far as 45-min away. What we try to do is make a day of it by finding a brewpub or similar establishment (i.e. ones that don't mind customers with dirt on their arms, legs and faces) to visit afterward.
