...before you leave on a ride? The thought came over me today while I was just checking out a road in North Georgia to see where it went. Other than commuting and group rides (like charity rides or PGR, etc.) do most of you plan where you're going to go, or just start riding and see where the road takes you?
If I'm heading to a specific destination and time is important, I usually stick to a planned route. If time is not as important, I take all sorts of detours. If I'm just riding, I usually haven't the slightest idea where I'm gonna end up, and there's been numerous times I ended up a long *** way from home with no daylight left. That's my idea of a good day of riding.

If you ride in North GA a lot, you should hook up with us on one of the monthly Helen rides.

If I am going "somewhere" I pick a route. If I am going for a ride I pick a direction.

I usually just head down an old country rode and see where it takes me. Sometimes I have to find someone and ask, where am I?

I dont know about all that, but the old saying is true:

Whereever you go - there you are.
yep, and everywhere is with in walking distance if you have enough time.

I always have a intended destination to begin with. Once I leave there, there is no set time when I will be home.
