If you ride flat lands that go on forever you will get bored. I do and i love to tour. You need things to peak your interest. Things like trees, streams, eagles, deer, etc. Come on over to Colorado and ride the mountains and see if you don`t change your mind.
My sis used to live in Castle Rock and I was going to ride my bike up to see her....then I found out it was 12 - 13 hour trip from OKC so I drove it instead. With my current riding limit at 5 hours (and I'm hurting after that), it would have taken me 3 days to get there.....lol.

Well I just got back from a longer ride, my first this season and I learned a couple of things. A) scenery does in fact relieve my boredom B) my knee hurting issue is caused because I'm standing to avoid hard bumps and I'm overweight and out of shape C) I LOVE riding!!

What a fun ride. I'm tired but it was great fun. 2 hours one way and I just got off my bike about 5 mins ago. My butt hurts, I'm hungry and dehydrated but I'm sitting here thinking, damn that was fun!! :)
