Hi, guys!
I've been running for a long time, but recently got more into cycling. I find it incredibly enjoyable and fun, and the fact that I can see so much more and more. I really want to cycle more, but there are a couple of things as a "newbie"
I am familiar with that many routes in my local area. When running, I did not really think about it (ex, run laps around a lake). I can not really do this with cycling, of course.
How did you discover routes of different distances? And how do you prepare to go exploring? Since I am often riding alone, I often get anxious when I ride in unfamiliar areas. I get anxious that i might puncture or be in a crash or something and not know how to find my way back home. How did you guys deal with this fear in the beginning?
