Years ago on a road trip in Colorado I ducked into a bar with a few bikes out front to avoid a nasty thunderstorm . Met the owners of the bikes 3 good guys and got an invite to crash at there place instead the hotel thing , all where professional tradesman between jobs so the party was on . They offered to show us the real sights and we got in some great riding in the area all round Colorado Spring and 100 mile radius . Funny thing is there was always a tavern or bar not far away with out fail so day 4 I asked what on the T&T agenda for the day . Kenny the ring leader asked what was T&T , my response was " our daily Tavern to Tavern ride .
Ended up being life long friends with those crazies and would manage a visit every year after Sturgis so in honor they held a big local annual T&T run named so after our meeting and becoming friends .

Thats why I dont ride this type of ride. Too many bar stops and quick 10 minute rides in between are no fun for me either. This is similar to the way we used to travel/tramp years ago. But times have changed, and I'm too old to think riding and heavy drinking go well together.
My favorite of this type run(benefit/poker run) usually have about 3 stops before returning for the party/get together and at least 30-45 minutes of riding between stops. Total time out being 5-6 hours or so.
