Before you give up
You are only minutes from relatively safe amusment and inspiration.
Just open a map or google maps and look for the roads that cross hills or follow rivers.
Hop on an expressway for 30 minutes and your on your way to some good fun and entertainment.
I have known many riders who never got out of there own county, the bike is just a social tool and excuse to hang out with freinds. If this is you then the track is great cause a little riding and a lot of socialising can be had.
Before you give up a road bike find a spot on the map a hundred miles away at the end of some small roads and go there. See if you have been missing something. "you don't know what you don't know"
