The coffee stop?
Doing a metric or mile-based century?
Racing - with all that is involved?
Enjoying the fresh air and getting a bit of exercise?
Or getting home exhausted, knowing you gave it your all?
Being able to binge on food post ride?
Finding some tasty gravel you haven’t explored before?
Bike packing?
Ripping fast singletrack?
Doing the perfect flowy ride
Pulling off a MTB stunt you never dreamed you could do?
Catching massive air?
Snow riding?
Or__________ fill in the blank.
A leisurely ride, mainly solo, to see the scenery, and maybe a coffee stop. Rides with my sons and grand sons in great too. Then in that case it would be for an ice cream stop.
Also some of my favorite rides are thru the older rich part of town to see old mansions built from 1900 to 1930. The architecture on the big houses of that era is fantastic!!!!!
