More or less retired now, but still trying to figure out what the future has in store. So mainly errands, shopping, and commuting to stuff.
I live about 5 miles outside of a small twin city, but the orientation creates longer distances than would otherwise be expected.
Several times a year, I ride to the next larger city, about 100 miles as the crow flies. The Willamette valley scenic bikeway is the basis for my route, about 186 miles with the two ends. However the route is quite convoluted. The whole route pushes my limits, so I am not beyond exploring shortcuts.
I got down to 130-something miles last week as I was running late and a February storm was brewing
I'll probably try 200 miles again this spring or summer.
