Did you get to do a multi day ride this year?

[Giaka]

I just didnt seem to have the spare time for a ride this year.   How about you?

[Cablebandit]

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

[Tyrroneous]

Wife and I did three days on a rental in NorCal.  Didn't quite hit the 1500mi mark thogh.  Should I still vote?  

[Rincewind]

Yes, I got as far away as Maine.  

[bomber]

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

[sammyseaman]

Longest ride was three days this year     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  

[Giaka]

Probably....  

I did managed to put in 18,000 miles on my bikes,........... riding to work. Better than caging it I guess.  

[ConPilot1]

I have not caged it on my 15 mile commute NOT 1 DAY since last April to date.

[Cablebandit]

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

[garry]

Just a bunch of long weekend trips for me (>1000 miles):

Region 6 Burger Run
STN Potomac Highlands meet
ADVrider BYOB
BYOB Reprise
ESTN
Four day ride to "The Snake"
STN Region 6 Campout

[ducsbill]

Probably more appropriate to say that I didn't make the time.  Opportunities were there.  Shame on me.

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  

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

[ray916mn]

- MSTA TWiSTAR
- TN, NC, WV, OH tour
- WY, MT, SD tour
- Round Lake Superior tour

Was supposed to do a 7 day Moab off road ride, but the wife figured out that I had already been gone 31 days on motorcycle rides.

[Doug Just Doug]

7 days in upstate NY and VT.  

[Hotbrakes]

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.

[coho]

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.  

[sleazy rider]

/nods

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.

[Papa Lazarou]

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.

[st2sam]

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

Same here.  
One more three day ride planned for this month...

[Giaka]

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.

Do it.

[shawn and gwyn]

yep. gwyn and i try and get at least one in a year.. this year was about 3k of ridding over one week.. taking our time going up to yellowstone, salt lake, tetons, and lots of places in between... was a great ride.

[cougar8000]

Camping trip in May to NC to ride Gap and all around with bunch of hooligans on FJR's

In September another hooligan run to IA, MN, WI but only for 2 days. You know, do not stay anywhere long enough and you wont be caught

[hovmaven]

Sort of.  

 

[PatM]

Yes, two weeks in nothern Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland, a week across northern NY and PA and the another to the Canadian Maritimes to visit some friends and back through Maine.

[Jason F.]

Only got three multi day trips in this year. All 3 or 4 day long weekend trips. Shortest was about 500 miles and the longest was about 1500 miles or so. I got a few long day rides in as well including two SS1000 rides this fall.

[Thunderbox]

I plan on doing many more when I retire next year.  New Zealand looks like a good place to start.

[Prozac]

I clicked "No", but if I count my move back to the States then it would be a yes.  Just wasn't what I would call a "site seeing" trip, more of a "point A to point B" trip.

[M.Brane]

 Other than the usual weekend trips to SD, IE, and Visalia the "official" rides were WCRM, and BTSF. That plus commuting put over 15K on the VFR this year.

[Skee]

I had 4 multi-day rides, and 2 day rides.  Even so, I do need to get out more.  

[viffergyrl]

 Other than the usual weekend trips to SD, IE, and Visalia the "official" rides were WCRM, and BTSF. That plus commuting put over 15K on the VFR this year.

WCRM and BTSF (B4theSnowFlies), plus some of the weekend trips mentioned above. I use the cage for commuting though. M.Brane has passed me on mileage between our two VFRs.

[Kootenanny]

I spent 3 weeks on a trip to NorCal--while I didn't ride every day (my wife met me in SF for a few days), I had a great time.  It was my longest bike trip to date.  I got to visit several ST.N'ers along the way

Other than that, I did several 2- and 3-day business trips on the bike (means I can write off the accommodations ).

[1000lbs]

Only one and not even on my bike.  Rented an HD while on summer vacation and visited Maine for a few days.  Plenty of great longish weekend rides though, so still a good year.

[bluepoof]

No, but not for either of the reasons listed on the poll.  

[Mike-H]

Only single day rides on all my bikes.....sucks don't it

[GTS_Rider]

I did three multi-day rides this year, and I gotta say I feel very lucky and happy with how the weather was working in my favor this year. Best ever tours on that front. First was the last ten days of April running new to me roads in the SouthEast, and only one real rain-day, where I was riding with major deadly tornadoes popping up all around during that 10 day tornado dodging ride:
http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php/topic,62493.0.html

Second week+ ride was a 3,500 mile loop of California. Just a little spritz leaving Los Angeles on the first day out over Cerro No Arreste, major scary lighting storm accompanied which is really pretty rare in So. Cal. Visiting Georgia rider who I met on the first ride must have brought that weather with him  . First part of the second day was miserable and Drizzly going up Hwy 1 outta San Francisco, but the weather broke to sunny skies just as we reached Stewarts Point where I was about to turn inland. The whole rest of the trip had magnificent weather hovering in the 70's for a 9 day tour of California hitting a bajillion favorite twisty roads.

Then there was the annual B4theSnowFlies ride to the SouthSierras end of October, Three Rivers and whatnot. This was the 7th run for this event and the weather was absolutely perfect! Even though Bluepoof thinks I'm making this up and all the pics were photochopped.    

[maddjack]

Yes A couple in fact greater than 1500


STN National meet

Blue Ridge boogie


A couple more just under 1500 (all were  3 day Trips)
Region 6 Burger Run
STN Potomac Highlands meet
Estn
Euro Rider Rendezvous

[stevent]

I rode to work most days, took a lot of day trips over the mountains to Eastern Washington and out to the ocean but no over-nighters      

[Magnarider]

Got to cancel mine for my girlfriend's grandma's funeral in Kansas  

[MKorn]

Several multiday trips ... best one was 4 days in the upper pennisular of Michigan.  1475 miles in 4 days.

[Mr.Black]

Yes. One. To Clays cookout. A bit over 2000 miles.

[cbsnbiker]

Sort of.  

 

 


I rode to Kentucky and back for an MSF event. I logged about 2,500 miles.

[CanadianBird]

I'm retired and the weather made for a late start. 17,000 kms and now the season is over. One trip from Vancouver to Creasant City, Cali into the Sierras and home. 1 week. A trip into the Kootneys. Numerous day trips.

[gradus]

Multiple 3 or 4 day trips this year.  Usually target about 300 miles per day, but I'm already close to the mountains.  I didn't hit 1500 on any of the trips.  

[kyzrex]

Retired last fall and thought I would be able to get several trips this year, but I was to busy!  Did get 1 weeklong trip to Johnson City, Tn and several day trips on the bike, but that was it.  Next year, without kids getting married, grandkids getting born, house hunting, and other time consuming events  I should be able to get a few more trips in.

[the drummer]

I got to get away back in Sept. for 5 days in  Mich.UP and northern Wisc..
  covered 1448miles (close ta 1500,eh?)  even in the sleet /snow/rain!!  
Still.....Helluva' lot more fun than work!!

[blkhrt81]

Edinburgh, Scotland to Buguruslan, Russia by way of the Balkans, 4500 miles in 11 days in and 14 days back on a more northerly route.

[Mastros2]

No multiple day ride this year.  Our 2nd child was born so I had more family commitments.  2010 was great for me; 4 multi day trips which included 2 Stn events.  

I'm already thinking of 2012.  Maybe 2 trips.  We'll see.

[BashamR6S]

Got to do a trip up to RA for the AMA Superbikes races. Camped on site, partyied hardy, was a good time. It's about 3 hour ride up, mostly slaving tho. Friday thru Sunday. Good times!

Bash

[stew71]

Yup. Did a multi-day ride along the California Coast up US 1. That one NEVER gets old. We also did a tour of North East California up and around Mt Lassen and Shasta.  

[bearcat263]

don't know about racking 1500 miles per trip but plan on doing several 3-4 day rides on either street or enduros this year.    

[Bad Dad]

Always. Myself and at least one friend go on a 10-12 day trip every year, Ozarks last year, hitting most of the N.E this year. Also go on 2-3 three day trips too.
