i don't have any spectacular scenery to roll past (chicago doesn't really do scenery), but at least i have a pleasant enough 6 miles along a greenway/linear sculpture park that makes up the middle 75% of my commute.
it's certainly not pikes peak or anything special like that, but for living in a big urban city, it at least gives me a modicum of some much appreciated natural touch - trees, birds, squirrels, bunnies, a (
very) occasional fox, etc.
and, remarkably, it's very lightly used for going through such a heavily populated area. when i'm feeling motivated (aka there's a tailwind at my back), i can really open up the throttle and fly on open MUP.
another lifetime ago, i used to roll along chicago's magnificent lakefront trail everyday, which is as inspiring as scenery gets around here, but i do not miss the traffic of it one bit. Open and clear MUP is a beautiful thing.
