I've had a few exceptional rides this year I hadn't done before, that when I did were a discovery. They were rides that I'd thought about, checked the general route and the terrain, but didn't really know what it would be like. On rides like this, I've been the most motivated. Although, I come prepared on these rides I often start and say to myself, "can I do this?", "will the weather be ok?". When you do the ride and it all works out, it is an awesome experience.
Get out of your environment and take rides you wouldn't normally do, the rewards and experience are great.
