How far do you drive to your starting point?
I used to do the same thing, but over the last couple years I just got burned out on riding (this summer was particularly hot, which didn't help any).
I used to think it would be silly to strap the bike onto the truck and drive somewhere to ride the bike, but I have rode for 2+ hours OUT in every direction it is safe to go.
To see anything new it's an all-day ride now, spent mostly going past stuff I have already seen a zillion times.
I am getting more accustomed to the idea of driving further out,,,,, but the weather is cooling off now. It'll be winter soon, and riding won't be much of an option at all (at least recreationally).
Also I bought a kayak this summer, which is great fun--but I have to drive anywhere to use that also.
