Yup, it's been a decent riding year, and it's not over yet.

nothing homeric, and never more than about 500 miles from home, but I'm lucky in that includes some great riding . . . . . .

Longest ride was three days this year  Sad   I knew it was gonna be a quiet year for me BUT I also realize next year will be a better year for riding. Hopefully a week long trip with a couple long weekenders thrown in for good measure. Gonna break the Thrux in good  Thumbsup

I could easily add 10,000 a year in commuting miles if I still had a job.

1 actual trip this year - to Utah, for good riding and scenery - 1600ish miles

1 kinda trip to the LOE1000 rally, was to participate in an endurance rally, but still enjoyed the scenery and riding, and a day of resting/BSing at the motel before and after the event. 2300ish mile weekend

1 BBG 1500- where I did 1551 miles in 23 hours - It covered two days, so not sure if that counts for a multi day ride  Lol

+ one SS1k (1016 miles) and a bunch of other long day rides just for fun and scenery

Virtually no Sunday rides with my buds which used to be nearly every weekend in years past.  Lots of trackdays and a few race weekends.  Only two good trips, one to Mid-Ohio for a trackday but I rode there and took a very scenic route back through WV.  The other with the GF on a 5 day Deal's Gap, Snake, and Back of the Dragon.  This was her first long trip and I wanted to spoil her so she will never ride away on some super slab adventure of boredom.

To work every day, one 7 day ride to Utah (about 4K) and a handful of weekends this year.  Nothing to speak of last year except for the to work part, so it counts as an improvement.

I aim to do better next year.  Bigsmile

An uncompleted LD rally in April due to mechanical failure, about 1500 miles total with the ride to and from added.
European tour for two weeks, just ~1600 miles.
Two three day weekends in northern Kentucky, but under 1500 miles each.
Three day weekend to northern Michigan for about 1200 miles.

I had fun, but it wasn't a grand touring type year.

Yes, but on a Suzuki Bandit 1250 as the tbird was damaged...I did take pics but included none of the bike itself (as I hated it). So i didn't post them up. Could do, if anyone wants though.
