Re: Moderate Ride Saturday May 7th
Good ride Rick.
They finished up the bike in an hour and a half, so I was able to meet up with the group in Palo Pinto. I now have 1038 miles on the bike.

What a great ride! I know I was hungry, but that was one darn good brisket sandwich. Does anyone know our total miles more or less? Thanks Rick

On a different note, we met you guys about a mile or two south of I-20 on US281, looks like you were headed to Natty Flats. Rick leading, Heath riding drag, couldn't make out who else, but looked like a nice turnout. Then we spotted Jim chasing after you just west of Weatherdord. Hated to miss it.

You haven't done a long ride yetcoldvodka wrote:Great ride, thanks all! Now I just need to hit the gym and get in shape for these longer rides...
Here is one of my long rides:clicky
Actual route was just over 200 miles but by the time you add in getting to the meetup and slabbing it around it adds up.Tooner wrote:What a great ride! I know I was hungry, but that was one darn good brisket sandwich. Does anyone ,now our total miles more or less? Thanks Rick
For me I consider long rides in the 300 - 500 mile range, my preference is long rides but it's hard to do them publicly since people start getting miserable. I can cover a ton of ground by myself by stretching out the gas stops and doing gas-n-go's but that ruins it for a lot of people so I try to keep things civil and non miserable. I think my record is something like 2200 miles in 4 days but it's been a long time so I don't remember exactly.

My first time using Rever to record the ride, I think it stopped recording on the last leg, but here's the share if you want to check it out:

Re: Moderate Ride Saturday May 7th
The really scary part was that there wasn't enough tow-bikes to get them all home in the event of worst case scenario. I call that a big "whew!"
