Rideout distances

[goblin30]

Hi
Thinking of planning a couple of ride out routes,
Got some pretty good roads in my area and just wondering
what sort of distance to plan for?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers goblin

Whereabouts do you live? I like to to ride to a destination where you can stop get some food, drink (or whatever) and then ride back. Distance depends on the time you have, bike and your immunity to pain (speaking as a sports bike rider!)

Depends on a lot of things.
But basically the distance you will all enjoy riding for .

Ok, add in daylight and other stuff, but basically whatever's going to be enjoyable, presuming that's the reason for it in the first place .

When a few of us Midlands lot do the wales ride out we rack up over 100 miles!

I live in east sussex.
The routes im looking include popular bike meeting points
theres also lots of pubs on the with cracking food.
Rode around one yesterday it was roughly 85 miles.

Depends on the weather quite a bit! 150 - 200 miles is nothing for an afternoon in summer however in winter you'd need defrosting after that

Distance isnt really the issue. Speed limits and road types mean time is probably the best way to plan. I can't say anybody enjoy's being on a bike for over 2 hours (Less for some ) so just plan out a route that will take an hour or so to complete.

Hi
Korn had a route to the coast and back, that was pretty long 100 - 200 miles, i think.

Remember your RGV? Remember feeling like you were sat on cast iron with your knees up by your ears, having to refill the tank every 70 miles?

2 hours riding, or 3 fuel stops is more than enough

[EuropeanNC30R...]

Quite impressive an average of 105mph, I'm assuming on an RGV you'd be going on A/B roads too

/me remembers the days of a litre of TTS every rideout

Now now, a hundred miles is four months of Shaun's fuel money...

[Shaun]

Wankers!

I was just pointing out you can do quite a lot of miles in a rideout because he was saying he'd noticed some local area's to ride around, I was merely pointing out that to be hardcore you have to travel a distance.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

The point is 100 miles isn't exactly 'hardcore'. Some people commute more than that

[Shaun]

Over 100 miles is ridiculous, imagine the fag breaks I would need!
