Why not both? Why does it have to be one or the other? And you can surely "barhop" without having a drink.

 

I do both. I don't drink and drive, but don't mind if my wife has a few when she's with me. So we bar hop sometimes. And other times just ride...
We are up to about 100 miles together. She loves to ride! My longest day so far was 430 miles.

 

No bar hopping for me ! I bought a bike to ride and enjoy.

I have a lot of fun making a loop that is about 125 miles, have lunch, stop from time to time to just look at the views.

I have nothing against having a drink, but not when I am ridding the bike.

Balloo

I don't drink and ride. Too much to do while riding to slow my reactions down. Don't do many long rides. A few 250-300 mile days a year. Mostly 40-60 mile just cruisin day trips 5-6 days a week.

 

I do a little of both.

 

I don't bar hop much but when I do it's a three beer limit.

 

HA!!

Awesome.

To the Original Point:

When I ride (which is nowhere near as often as I'd like)... I like to RIDE and actually go somewhere.

Making a short ( <100mi) loop and coming back to where I started is just pointless to me. It's the destination AND the journey that I'm into.

Since I travel full time for work, the destination always changes... but my typical "ride" is to find a hotel/casino 200-500 miles from the job and head there on a Saturday and ride back on Sunday.

So I guess I casino hop.

 

both - depends on the day. I mostly ride to work and take road trips

 

... which is more than enough to make you DWI unless you are 500lbs+ and consume great amounts of food at the same time. 1 beer/mixed drink or glass of wine per hour will put most people over the legal limit of .08.
