I'm not defining for anyone else. Go back and read the posts. I'm simply telling and explaining what I do. You do as you wish.

i would say that every ride I do has some form of planning involved. I have a pretty good idea of the route I am going to take.I may deviate a bit as whim takes over though.

So, it looks like more experienced riders are more likely to do unplanned rides.

MY Theory/Logic, to doing 'planning' : as I have preferred roads too only drive on. That's more critical, when driving on high-end wheels --- but still to done if on any wheels. (one example): Why would I want to drive c-f wheels on roads that have more potholes, than another route --- with lesser potholes.
(b) no matter what wheels. (c) what route has lesser trucks. Students. (d) splitting the metro/rural --- if applied in your route.
ETC

It's good to know that in a forum designated for people having lived on this planet for 50 years or more you have personally decided to define each of those terms for the rest of us.
I guess all the people in this post that stated they simply just get on their bikes and ride are not considerate or courteous?
It's all good though :)
To each his own and I am stepping off my soap box, sorry.

The 'designation' in this "forum" --- that "people having lived on this planet for 50 years" does get violated, you know.
Do you really trust that age is monitored, on every incoming review. I wish, too, such was.

I'm with MidLife50, I go hiking, fishing, biking, and whatever, I let the wife know where I'm going to be!
Carry ID and an emergency contact card too sorry if you have a problem with that.

Read my posts.
I have no problem at all with anyone's level of preparation.
I have a problem with someone else telling me what is common courtesy.

When I first saw this thread, I almost said I plan very little. I thought about it more and I realized that because of the amount of windshield time I spend on my job, I pretty much plan out my rides down to the mile before I ever get on the bike.
