I am pleased and surprised at the great response.
I have a great well maintained Domane. Part of my hesitation is due to being alone for the first time in decades after losing my wife. (Sorry if that too much sharing)
I will take a closer look at some of the heat maps. Staying close to home is a nice idea but I prefer to get out away from ‘civilization’.
Thanks to you all. You have helped give me a more confidence. I over plan as well so I’ll start planning for a nice long spring ride.

Thanks a million from a new member to the forum.
