Here is a great way (I think) to try and pick your route, plan your ride off the cuff when you are out.

Use a die, but dont use two opposing numbers on the dice, rub them out or scratch them off. Now assign each one of the remaining numbers a direction, north, south, east or west.. you get it.... (you can guess which way is which with a thumbs in the air look at the sun and the time on your watch).

Then,,, roll the dice,,,, choose a direction (take the 1st one) and let it roll.

Obviously if you have your face towards the white cliffs of dover or somewhere you cant' throw yourself off that... use common sense.

have a go. why not

    Don't often take a monopoly set out with me.

    But I'm all for exploring new areas and new paths.

    shoe beats the hat every time THE SHOE :lol:

    Nice idea though - make a good 'mystery challenge' - you would need a course with lots of junctions though :lol:

    perhaps junctions, but could try carrying your bike forward until a suitable ground is reached...?

    i can imagine my ride now,

    north
    south
    north
    south.......

    ........north
    south

    10 hours later, mobile rings "where the heck are you? your dinner has gone cold", "sorry, I can't get home, the dice will not let me"

    Haha ooh dear... so which side of the dice is rape? You'd have to pencil in non-conditioned behaviours to be a true dice rider, so give unicycle some odds too :)
