Before I moved out of the city, I didn't even have a car, so driving wasn't an option. I did take a subway a couple of times though. Then, once I moved out of the city, I had to drive to every park race.

But for more casual rides, I've only driven to the NJ Gran Fondo. PITA. Really, no drive of less than an hour is going to get me to more interesting roads than I have virtually outside my door. I'll be riding to the start of my next event century on Sunday.

I'd still like to make a trip up to Lake Placid to take on Whiteface, but that would mean a long drive - nearly 5 hours each way.
