How long, How far, How often & Where do you ride?
Squeezing out a few hours a couple of times a month to a breakfast or lunch which is about 100 miles round trip is it for me.
I live in South Florida, so an Inter-coastalA1A ride or a ride to Lake Okeechobee works. Would like to ride more, but kids come first...
Looking forward to an over nighter, but none planned.

I ride 70 miles a day round-trip to work, four days a week. However, if there's a good chance it's going to rain, I don't ride. I have rain gear but generally I don't intentionally ride in the rain.
Then I usually ride at least one day on the weekend (every day if I can) between 50-100 miles. So, all totalled around 300 miles a week weather permitting.
Then I try to take one big motorcycle trip a year. This year it was Sturgis (5020 miles in 10 days). Probably won't have time for a big trip this next year due to work. But, I'm hoping for three or four short trips (3 to 4 days).

Generally, at least 20 to 75 miles a day, almost everyday March-November. Weekend days can be anywhere from 20 to 350 miles. December-February, it gets a little hit or miss. Ride when I can, if there's no ice or snow on the road or in the forecast, and if it's not spitting rain, or like now, when the bike is down for upgrades.

My dad and i rode to Yellowknife, NT this summer the last half of July. We went up through Alberta and back down through British Columbia. This trip was right around 5300 miles in 9 days. Awesome trip except the only reason we went up that far was because my dad seen the HD insignia in the HOG book. I put 11,800 miles on my bike this first year i've owned it. Gotta love it! I'm guessing i won't put that many miles on this year but one never knows, planning on a southern Utah trip this summer.

The most we've done was 1020 in two days. It was our first and was really too far too fast. We've done a couple that were in the 300-400 in two days and those went much better.
Generally though, my rides are usually 50 milers around the local area just to get out and clear my head. And I usually ride to work every day, which is about 25 miles round trip.
Looking forward to next June. We plan on spending a week over around Eureka Springs and riding all the different routes they have over there during that time. Should be a nice relaxing week of riding.
