Personally, I feel that new paths are fun, but the probability of failure (?) also seems to increase.
When time is set or riding alone, there are many variables (road closures, unexpected uphill climbs, delays in return time, cold weather, etc.)
Because of this, I sometimes feel subtle stress. So these days choosing a safe route feels like a more rational choice,
What do others think? And I'm curious about what criteria you use to choose a route before you set off.
