I go riding all the time, at least in the warmer months. In the past, it wasn't uncommon for me to put in a good 50 or 80 mile ride on a weekend, plus an easy 10 to 15 miles during a weekday evening ride. Over the years, I've gone from a strictly road-only bike to a hybrid off-road/on-road bike. This has given me the opportunity to ride trails and travel in a much safer place than on the road.

Where I live there are many hills, in fact I live on the side of a hill in a gulley and have to climb out on to the road, which is uphill! This has proven to be some great exercise in its self.
