Sometimes I think we all get too caught up in how many miles we're putting on our bikes or doing in a day. I read stuff all the time bragging about how many thousands of miles someone did in a week or how they can ride 500 or 600 miles in a day, no problem. Must be a motorcycle thing since I never hear similar stories about trips on 4 wheels.
The most important thing, whether you ride 10 miles or 1000, is if you enjoyed your time on the bike. Whether you ride every day to work and back or hundreds of miles on the weekends - same question - did you enjoy yourself?
I often get just as much pleasure out of a 20 minute run up to the high school parking lot to practice stuff as I do a 4 hour day up in the north Georgia mountains. Maybe I'm weird!
I agree Doc;it's about the fun, miles. That's why most of the time I like riding by myself. If i look to the side of the road and see a really nice vista Isometimes just like to pull over, set for 10 minutes so and take it all in. That's goes for the bike or the cage. For example the first time I made the loop around Lake Tahoe which is about 85 miles, it took 5 1/2 hours.
