I was just wondering what you guys do when riding on your own. Do you plan ahead? Do you take a known and trusted route? Do you google something? Sat nav any random post code, or POI?

For me at the moment it will be routes I know so I can concentrate on my bike and riding, once I've gained more confidence I'll pick destinations or just point my bike and go! Don't do sat nav, I like maps.
I choose a nice country road and ride it to see where it goes. 8-) [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
i pick a star and follow it, so i cud end up anywhere, as there is no stars during the day. ;D
normally just point myself in a direction I know like towards newbury and take all of the random side roads b roads and little lanes i can find well did anyway :P
just hop on and see where the bike fancies going. Ride and ride and when i get tired or fed up. I hit "home" on the sat nav and head back.
When I used to ride, I used to just get on and go but the last time I did that was on the back roads in Spain where I used to head towards Marbella and stop off in Sotogrande or Banus [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I've never really had the opertunity over here but I did go to towards Sheer Water as there's some nice bendy roads near by [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Having plotted routes for Bath Classic for years, I'm seldom stuck for a route!

Yep, just get on and ride and see where we go... could be absolutely anywhere. Definitely turning down all those roads you go past so often thinking "wonder where that goes?"... then when I'm totally lost and realise I left the sat nav at home, try to find my way home
That's the way to do it! ;DOriginally Posted by hotdog
