Yeah. I hear you. 90% of my rides are also straight from my front door (9 or 10 loops I can do) but I do sometimes desire a different area to ride in just for a change of pace/change of scenery. I really should do more of this but I don't. Lately, about once a month, I've been driving about 18 miles from home to start/end a ride from a location in a neighboring county. I'm actually driving the 18 mi to this ride this Saturday (47 mile ride, hilly, brisk pace). I ride only every Sat/Sun, so, I'm more inclined to drive to a ride this time of year if I have no yard work to do that day and the weather forecast is good. Not likely to do it on a Sunday since my Sunday ride is typically an easier, flatter, recovery ride of 30-35 miles.
