When I was spending a few months a year in Santa Fe, NM, many of my road rides were out and back due to the lack of road infrastructure. It was hard to put together loops that were under 80 miles or so. A case of no choice, no problem. Locally (Long Island) there’s a huge network of decent roads so I pretty much always do a loop of some kind, but I do repeat some loops, or do them backwards,
