Lol, there's no easy way out of that one. Thank god my GF couldn't fathom dropping as much on a set of wheels as a new bike.

Follow-up to that question: During your ride, how do you remember where to go / where to turn?

I'm generally bad with directions and street names so on a scale of 1-10 in getting lost, I would say I'm at a solid 7.
Strava Routes is still in beta but it is great. I will turn on terrain, heatmap, bike routes to scope out new areas and plan my trip to avoid main roads. You can print cue sheets, and/or export the route to your GPS. I couple that with street view on google maps to check out the scenary, whether there's a shoulder, etc etc.
