Gravel Do you just go searching for routes?

I live in a rural area of my county.

There is a lot of wooded area, including National Forest with forest service roads, as well as gravel and dirt farm roads.

I could find gravel routes all day long.

Can you do this in your area? If so, do you try to do this?
 
I've always been an explorer right from my childhood days. This made it so easier for me to dive into routes most bikers would be very skeptical to take on. Currently, I'm living in the city and there's no much of such routes but whenever I go see my parents where they are living in the rural part of the state, there's so much routes for me to explore.

Do you find it safer to ride in rural areas where your parents are, versus in the city?

It's absolutely safer to ride in rural areas compared to the city. There are few cases of accidents involving cars and bikes in there than what we experience in the city. It's like drivers here have a thing against bikers.
