I think we all keep to the good roads too much. We don't strike out into new territory, explore new fields of observation, try unfamiliar paths. I seldom go upon the road that I do not seek to find some new way to reach this or that point, and I have to thank this disposition for much that is rich in my experience.


This is from an article in The Cycle from the late 1800's, written by Helen Drew Basset under the pseudonym Daisie, in a column called "From a Feminine Point of View". She was wife of Abbott Basset, secetary-editor of the League of American Wheelmen.

Sounds like good advice.

Enjoy your ride,
Murph

The Road Not Taken, but a step beyond Robert Frost.

I'm not sure she's talking about cycling. Which makes me love it all the more.
