Does familiarity breed contempt?

An old adage but is it true?

I know there are equal schools of thought for cycling different routes to keep the variety and therefore the spice of life perpetuated, as well as pedalling the old tried and trusted routes too.

Thing is I know that it is say 8 miles from my house to that particular shaped bush, or maybe 12 miles from my house to that road sign and also 20 miles to the brow of that hill...
I also know what time i expect to pass said bush, sign, other landmark in as well, and therefore can guage my performance and general fitness in round terms. - Contemptible, probably. Sad definately - am I bovvered - NOPE!
