[QUOTE="ParkRNDL, post: 1187440, member: 36"] Just reread the original post and noticed this: I'm in the same boat. My subdivision is also a 6/10 mile loop with a couple of cul-de-sacs off of it, and kinda hilly for all that. The two exits from the subdivision put you on the same hilly stretch of 55-mph county road. If I want to do any more than cruise a few laps around the neighborhood for 20 minutes, I load the bike up and take it into town. It's about a 10-minute drive, and there's a 2-mile rail-trail type deal right through the middle of town. I always start on the rail-trail, which has a couple of designated parking lots. Then I dive off the north end near Wilson College and cruise the residential neighborhoods there, or the south end near the high school where there are even more neighborhoods to explore. I have discovered there's a whole network of alleys through town that are great to ride. Little motor vehicle traffic and lots to see, and they connect the different neighborhoods and different parts of town without having to ride main roads. It's kind of funny how the alleys give you a whole different view of the area. I lived here for over 15 years before I started riding the rail-trail and alleys, and it's like a whole different town that nobody knows about right in the middle of the "main" one. Our group rides are in a different town about half an hour south, and we like to do "alley tours" there also. One of our favorite ride destinations is actually a legendary local donut shop located in an alley. [/QUOTE]
