My general recreation area for easy rides has just been turned into a solar farm.
I expect the remainder to be turned into a housing project based on signage of public comment.

I've got another local area I can try out and another I have ridden in the past that's local but it seems they are busy trying to put solar or wind turbines on every square yard of open space that isn't paved or has a crackerbox house on it.

Not that I'm complaining about people using their own land the way they want but it would be nice if there was some parks or the like with trails without having to DRIVE an hour away.

Nothing like a bike tour. Slow enough to be immersed in your surroundings, but fast enough to cover long distances, with better fitness as a side benefit.
This cat claimed my husbands bike in France on a ride from Greece.

Nice pic Zippy,,RE: Bike Tour,,,,about 4 years ago we set out to ride from Cedar City Utah to Minersville Res. for a 2 or 3 day deal. Steep long decent down into that valley with the reservoir.
Climbing back out my buddy got sick, Planning on camping again half way back, we were hauling water, none in them hills.
So I ended up hauling his water, food, tent sleeping bag, cooking gear, etc, no wonder he got sick, hauling all this stuff.
It has taken me until just NOW, reading your words, that I am over that, I forgive him. I would do it again.

I gotta tell about this, we were camped, on the shore of the reservoir. In the night another tent showed up next to us. 2 Lesbians form Michigan.
They were up packing as we were, my buddy asks, "Show me how you attached that holster in your pannier."
So I reached in my tent, pulled out my Taurus, showed him how it goes in and how I attached it.
One of the ,,,,,girls? said "GUN!" ...
They got on the phone, one went to tell the camp host. Last we heard of it...I forgot all about it till now..
