man i been working so many bugs out of my bike since i got it last year that every time i get between 10 and 50 miles somethign breaks that if the PO had of fixed it properly insstead of cheaply/quickly it wouldnt have broke down. so if you can get 100 miles in thats a decent ride. lately i been out and about the village on short 2-3 miles rides just working bugs out and such

I made it a whole 30 miles yesterday. Got a great hangover to show for it. Wish I would have gone 100 miles and skipped the hangover.

100 miles is what I consider a relaxation ride. I am self employed and when work starts getting to me or am having a mental block, I go out and usually ride about 100 miles. These rides do not take enough time to affect the day but can sure adjust my attitude.

Is that far enough for a day's ride, I'd say not. A day's riding for me would be 250 to 500 miles. In the end; however, who cares how far you ride in a day. Your opinion is the only one that really counts.

Some days 100 miles is enough. Other days, it's not nearly long enough. Each circumstance, day, individual varies.

You could always leave your buddies home and get a couple hundred in today if that would make you feel better. You have our permission.
