I can add one. "Ride to Eat, Eat to ride." I have rode from Ohio to Pittsburg just to eat a sandwich at Primanti Bros. and ride back in the same day. Thats just one example.

Something mine has taught me ,,,,,,, I have left on a ride with a destination in mind , a mere hour and a half away .

Six hours later I figure out I had passed that destination, and didn't care !
