[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 183403, member: 956"] OK, then don't go X-country! Spend the time closer to the house. This summer was in the top 5 of my best riding seasons, and I barely broke into the southern border of Oregon.. .(for those that don't know, I live in the central coast of CA). [FONT=Verdana]For the first time, I was able to truly ride without a destination. No pressure to maintain a schedule, no hotels to be at by x:o'clock... I even found myself BACKTRACKING because the ride/road was soo good and I wanted to explore the museum I had 'blown' past to make good time. This, for me, was truly good. For you, maybe not. For me, I like the slower, smell the posey pace. I know, I'm not in vouge with this IBA oriented forum.. but I offer no apologies or quarter either. Don't get me wrong; I've done the unoffical >1k/24 on the Beemers and Harleys.. but didn't really find it 'fun' or 'relaxing'. To get somewhere when it had to be, yes.. but relaxing?
