Sample size was so low as this is the least pleasurable type of riding... this type of riding requires high concentration, is noisy, not relaxing at all and there is "no wind in your hair."
The kind of riding I know I enjoy the most is spinning fast on an isolated country lane swooping up and down gentle grades along tree lined roads.
