I strongly agree. When we bought this house, decades ago, our choice was
heavily influenced by the ability to ride pretty pleasantly north to get
to work, or ride south and soon get to fairly low traffic country roads.
And as I've mentioned before, north tends to be flat once past the river
valley, south gets quite hilly after maybe ten miles, because that's
where the glaciers stopped.

Since our move here, the McMansion suburbs have popped up in a lot of
the former cornfields, adding traffic to formerly quieter roads. But
it's still a great place for riding.

One of the advantages of hauling the Catrike in my truck is that I can
and do ride many miles from home. I'm sometimes more than a hundred
miles from home. Riding around my little town, which I sometimes do as
a test of components, is same old, same old, boring.
