Right i have four hours to ride (give or take an hour)

Option A is hope/ladybower/whinston lee tor etc

Option B is home to ashbourne and back on the road (50 miles on the nose)

Both rides will be solo ๐Ÿ™

Which should i do - and why?

+1 for A. Solo mtb is more fun than solo road surely...

A, it's safer than road riding and more fun to boot

roads are merely a way of getting to the trails

Option A will give you a whole load more fun,bit of adrenaline and the added benefit of a good workout whereas Option B will give you a good workout and may be slightly stimulating if getting skimmed by wing mirrors is your thing.
Mtb every time for me. Fwiw i do both disciplines, currently training for a JOGLE ride for charity next month and really resenting my road miles at the minute! Road ride in a morning and mtb after work in the week, if i only have the choice of one the mtb wins every time.

Or, to be controversial, band on the ipod and go hurt your self on the tarmac for 50m. See which bike winks at you in the morning.

Yep 50 metres should be enough of a road ride, then return to shed and get your mountain bike out!

why not pick a more interesting road route, and use the fact the bike won't need cleaning as a reason to go further?

Not old enough to grow a beard? That explains a lot ๐Ÿ™‚

How far does this choice thing go?Will you be posting from your ride asking directions? I'd hate for you to have to make up your own mind whether to turn left or right at every junction ๐Ÿ™„
