We have done several trips this year, from one day to 3 weeks. The 3 weeks was approx 3900 miles. Day trips usually 200 to 300 miles. Jay did get a different bike, it is so much more reliable and fun for him to ride. We also purchased a very small camp trailer to take with us on our travels.
I am still on my own bike, and follow along. We have cb's, with microphones and speakers in our helmets. Makes it much easier to let the other know when we need to stop, or if we have made a wrong turn. Jay also has a gps on his bike, but I am not very trusting of it sometimes....sends us in directions that take longer to get to same destination.
With the weather turning colder, not many rides planned. But will update on other activities as we go along.

This is one run we have planned to do this winter. We did it last year, and it was fun...no rain or snow, dressed warm.
