Welcome back, Chris!
I take it you have recovered from your “glutton reaction”
🙂
Sounds like you had a wonderful ride. Post some pics when you get a chance.
I’ve never taken a two week vacation, so I haven’t been on many long rides. Maybe only a couple were longer than yours.
One was attending the “Blitz to Branson”. I don’t know if the MOA still holds it, but it used to be the kickoff event for the beginning of the riding season. That was a quick, 5 day trip where I bagged one Saddle Sore (1,000 miles in 24 hours) and two Bun Burners (1,500 miles in 36 hours). That was the last time I rode east of the Rockies. The total was just over 3,600 miles.

The other was the Three Flags Classic, the only one I actually started and finished. I started one other, finished another and bought tickets to two others. That event took 10 days and I rode a little over 4k miles.

These days, 400 miles is a big day. The Sierra Ride, nearly 1,200 miles for me, was more than enough.
