All of the above, except for bar hopping.
Most day rides consist of a minimum of 300 KM, but my passion is to travel long distance when time permits.

Usually ride with 1 to 4 others and sometimes in larger groups on organized rides. Solo can also be very relaxing.

Hmmm, I'm really surprised commuting isn't one of the choices.

Anyway, maybe 80% of my riding time is spent going to/from work, with an occasional 100-150 mile "joyride" thrown in (still a noob, hope to do longer rides once I'm up for it).

If i need to go to the store or the mall, something like that, I'd rather ride my bicycle.

I chose others. Why? Because I like short, long, medium, just to work, shoppping all the time. Its 28 degrees out and I am still riding. When ever the temperture of 32 degrees or less and moisture meet, thats when my season is over. And thats any day now. :cry:

I see where brave souls like Grommiente admirably braves the winter. My hats off.

Other......given an excuse or an opportunity to ride, I ride and the poor old Horizon sits lonely and neglected in its parking stall.

Should have my baby back soon, just a few minor things to have done with it and just waiting on the parts.
Always ask why.
