I LOVE going to places on my bike, it's so much better than just flogging around the same old roads. I rode to Windermere once and although the first 60 miles up the A6 wasn't very interesting the last 10 through the Lakes and into the town was great and the arrival felt fantastic.
That's the same reason why I find MTB trail centres so boring.

Pocklington is fine. There's a great source of pies at the butchers. There's a cafe or two too.

I enjoy exploring on the bike, we went for a drive in the car last night in the countryside and it wasn't nearly as fun as cycling, luckily I live right on the rural-urban fringe of Carlisle, so a mile up the road and I'm into the countryside with lots of little side roads to go down and explore. I often plot on Google Earth then follow by memory, sometimes I get lost, sometimes I don't. Getting lost is still kinda fun 
....only downside is that it's pretty hilly =/

It's great exploring and finding out where roads I've never used emerge...

I love looking at the map, seeing a village I've not gone to before and cycling through it, just to be nosey!
