After every trip riding on the road in Europe it feels odd to be riding on the left back home, for some time. Yet adjusting to riding to the other side there takes a km or so.

Don't think about it on tracks though, I just take the line that seems good. I remember the wide tracks of the Divide being basically roads with the odd truck so at times I stayed on the right, but it was mostly so open you could ride wherever. Stick to the right on the TNR tracks that have jeeps and fiats here and there.

Right foot forward, and left side of the track (assuming there's no ruts/puddles etc.)

Even when travelling in the opposite direction.
I have this with one section of road, on my commute, where there's always a head wind - no matter which direction I'm traveling.
