Wow. I will often ride for 45 minutes on the expressway by myself to get to a ride. Bigger group of people in that area and that's where the ride starts so that's where I go. I don't make it every week, but rarely miss two in a row.

I'd ride across town to meet up with a biker or group....if there was anyone to meet. Houston FTL.

Houston is a big city...really big. Area-wise, it's probably #2 in the country. Takes about 45 minutes to get from one city limit to the other @ 70mph.

Jax is the same way. Biggest city in the U.S. in terms of square miles.

Last weekend I called Drewpy and said I would meet him in the morning at DEAL'S GAP. 11 hours of riding and a new back tire in Knoxville, we rode the Dragon about 6 times. The last time was with Ben and his gang, I think a little over the limit. (I was in the back) 8 hour trip back home with 4 hours of rain.
I can ride tons of miles in a day and not get sore, 6 times through the Dragon in one night this old man was hurting for 5 days.

I ride with a few select.
