Going to a MTB or BMX is always a great way to break up the week.
Have you ever gone on a ride and saw some awesome stuff and wish you had a camera? Well, carry a camera with you on a ride and stop to take pictures then!
Plan on riding to a specific destination/event. Ride your bike to the field where you and your buddies set up a football game. (bring 'real' shoes!)
Turn off your computer and rip off all the electrodes and wires coming out all your holes. If you look like a machine, you're going to act like one.
Get a map and hang it on the wall. Then begin to ride each street in your town until you mark them all off then move to the next one. Makes it kinda like an adventure game. Yes, I'm a nerd.
Bring a friend. Introduce someone to the great sport of cycling and take a nice leisurely ride while you help them get accustomed to their new toy.
Hike, jog, run. Awesome supplement to your riding. Getting onto the walking trails gets you away from the constant flow of cars and noisy areas. Also lets you slow down to enjoy everything around you.
I'll try to think of some more stuff.
