Oh yes. But both utility -- riding for a purpose (I do errands) and variety -- off road and on road help: looking for new trails and streets (it's interesting to come across neighborhoods tucked away away from major arteries; and I'm always finding or re-finding different irrigation system roads and trails. I very often turn grocery runs from a minimum 2 mile rt (well 1/2 mile rt to Albertson's; but I mean the nicer Sproutses) to 12 or 15 or 20 miles by taking scenic detours.
And overcoming the habit that every ride must be a time trial. That has taken me 15 years and I still have to force myself to slow down during the first few miles. We're hot, but we're very fortunate to be dry. Patrick Moore, who must ride to daughter's mother's house tomorrow to pick up and mail things daughter left behind during visit.
