I enjoy the same luxury of a nice supply of country roads that I can mix and match to create loops from 6 to 60 miles. Most of my rides start out heading east down the beautiful 4 mile road I live on and diverge from there, but I if there's a stiff west wind (I hate finishing into the wind) or I'm just taking a short evening ride, I have another set of variable distance loops that will leave me finishing on a long downhill from the north. I only started riding again a couple years ago after a long absence and was very fortunate to happen to live in the best biking area in the region.
