99% of my rides are right from the house, both road and mountain. But, yes, every so often I'll pack it up and head to a destination farther away to ride. There are places I like to ride every so often, but I don't often have time to make a 20, 30 or even a 40 mile ride into a century just to stay out of the car a few times a year.
