Probably my most common, easiest ride is an out and back from our place, through our neighborhood, to a connector trail, then out our city/county trail to where it joins our 239 mile long state park trail system. That out and back route is just over 17 miles and at my typical trail speed it usually ends up just over an hour.
Once I get there, if I have the time and energy, I’ll also do an additional bit in one direction or the other on the state trail. The state trail is wider and flatter and a great place to do some intervals, if I’m inspired to do that, too.
