That is one reason why it is better not to have a destination. Just go out and get lost for the day. I do it all the time, more fun that way and I find a lot of nice places I otherwise would never know about. But a GPS does come in handy when it is time to go home.

An empty bladder and a full tank are always a good combination.

Since I'm the Road Captain of our CMA chapter, They gave me a pin that says "I wasn't lost. It was creative routing." I love it.

I didn't know you could get lost riding. A new road is just another road. Enjoy the ride.
(and buy a cheap GPS so you can get back home)
