When/where you thinking?
That ain't no chit. I'd say our lil group likes the drink quite well. I dunno if my trip will happen. I was originally planning on San Diego area. But for me to get out and back, and a couple days of recouperation, I figure it would take two weeks.

I may do a shorter trip instead. Something like Texas or Sturgis. Not sure yet. I got all winter and spring to mull it over.

Sounds good. I bet we could climb Pike's Peak and return in 4 days. Or, have a beer with Mongo and get back. That would be easy.

Big Sky, Montana and back would be cool.

Not sure how a ride like that would go with a wing man. No offense. It's just that when you're doing big miles in a short time, you want to rest when you want to rest and you want to ride a ton when you don't need rest. Might be tough to sync up needs.

Then again, I tend to not give a sh!t. I lead enough 9-5, sometimes it's nice to follow.

I'm pretty damn comfy on my bike. I have no doubt I could do 800 a day. Possibly more. Wouldn't have really stopped when you guys visited but when yameet at an Irish bar and crack your first beer before 11am, well, it's kinda hard to not stop. Haha
