Depends on time and weather window. Was warm enough here yesterday to put on about 75-80 miles, not alot, but enough to get the blood pumping. When time and weather allow, stretch it out to your comfort level. Hell, around the block can be a good ride sometimes!

anytime you can get out its good. But if your talking going out on a saturday with the plan to ride and all you do is 100 miles then hey its better than nothing and more than alot will do. But typically a good day is around 250 to 300 miles thats going little distance stopping for lunch and seeing the sites and stopping. That being said if we the people i ride with ride on a warm summer day its anywhere from 250 to 400 plus miles by the end of the day but we usually leave out first light and may not be back till dark or 10pm or later just depends where the road leads us.

uhhhhhhh.........yes? Any ride as long as the oil gets hot enough is a good ride! I have scooted out when I only had 30 mins.

Now if you mean is 100 enough to get in for a whole day and that is pretty far? No

Yeh, depending on speed, 100 miles is a decent half day at best...

For me, 100-150 one way makes for a full day. Unless I have a longer distance to go. Then it's nontsop except for fuel refills, till I have to give in.
