At this point in my life, work takes precedence. I like my job and plan to keep at it for as long as I’m able. That means short tours of a week or so, and very short trips of 2-3 days. There are plenty of great places to ride that don’t require loads of time. Some day, that longer tour will happen, but there’s no sense in waiting for that day. Never toured with others, and probably wouldn’t, knowing myself and hearing the experiences of others. My goal of touring is to get away from people and get into nature.
Also, I bike commute year round about 30 miles a day and usually ride some singletrack on the weekend, so it not like my only riding is touring.
