I spend a lot of time on ridewithgps creating my own routes from home. I have created a few dozen routes with variance to keep me from getting burned out. As mentioned, sometimes I just have to leave my normal riding grounds to explore a new area. Fortunately, I live within 90 minutes drive time of some amazing coastal canyons and mountains I have yet to visit on a bike. I will save those for cooler weather in the late fall.
