Thats the joy of having a bike you ride as much or as little as your heart desires , screw what anybody else does it's yours .
I've gone and turned around a 1/2 mile later , I've also gone off for a weekend it was 3 1/2 weeks before I got home again .

My short trips are usually around 130 miles (Parker, CO to Limon, CO)
My long trips, and I usually take 2 or three a month during the riding season, are anywhere from 240 miles to 400 miles.
Riding in the mountains of Colorado makes you want to keep going!

Mostly 30-50 mile rides due to time. Weekends when I can get out I will just go West and pay no attention. Sometimes I'll find myself hitting the Indiana state line and turn around and start heading back.

I log 2500 miles a month just with my commuting and errands, so not alot of cruising around otherwise. I take a couple trips each year to visit friends or family.
I live in the mtns 65 miles east of San Diego, so my commute is what most guys call a pleasure ride anyway - 135 miles a day.

100 miles round trip to work every day possible. weekends we will take a ride out about 150-200 miles and then back
I can't remember the last day I rode less than 100 miles (on days I rode)
I average 18K per year over the past 6 years on two different Ultras.
45K on my current Ultra, since April of 2008
We do take a trip once in a while, when we do, its an average of 4-600 miles a day. Wife rides her own.
