At this point in my life, getting away for an extended bike tour isn't realistic. Hopefully it will be soon but for now we do quite a bit of what we refer to as S24O and S48O rides - Sub twenty four hour overnights and Sub forty eight hour overnights. I like them because you don't need to fuss with a ton of gear and you have a great adventure only a few hours from home. This last weekend we rode about 84 miles all together with one night of camping. Anyone else enjoy that type of "touring"
