What are your most creative excuses for going for a ride?

Excuses?  What do I tell her? "I need to go for a ride!"  What do I tell myself? "I need to go for a ride!"  What do I do? I go for a ride!

No excuses, but I do ask her if she needs anything from the store.

We always seem to come up with something.  We might say to the significant other I need to go and order a new ______, or doing a charity run, or testing out some mods, or testing some new riding clothes, picking up something from the hardware store, need to make sure the township fixed all the potholes correctly, giving your relatives some space when they're visiting us, etc.   So what do you use for your "excuse"?
