What's the longest ride you've been on?

[BWAF]

I have a group I used to ride with that did that. Ride 1/4 mile, stop and drink beer. Ride a 1/4 mile, stop and smoke some weed. Not my style of riding. I'm like you, I like to cover ground.

That's the way some of our locals are ,I like to get some miles too !!

Used to ride with? Whatever do you mean? You still ride with me... @russknight Lmao!

We have took some long ones, I'd say around 200 miles in a day or so for me. Got to have a deep cooler for that or a store stop planned in route.

Those are the best days though. Start out early in the woods when everything is waking up. Have a lunch picnic on a crappy pioneer tailgate. Then at the end of the day enjoy the sunset with no obstructed views. Can't wait until I retire!

I really need to start snapping some pictures of our rides. I cover lots of country enjoying beautiful scenery every time I ride.

@russknight How about our "secret" indian mound that we discussed on our first ride together? I still can't believe I have been passing by that thing for years and always wondered, then you cleared it all up for me. Added was the neat little story you told of it being in a hog pen. That just made my day!

If there is one thing I have learned from being a side by side owner is that it's just one other thing you have in common with whoever your riding with. You share common interests or you wouldn't be riding together in the first place.

Can't wait to do it again @russknight

Mine was 112 miles in one day, some of you may say big deal, to you I say, do it in a P5 then we will talk.

Been to Marango Swamp Suicide many times on ATV not long but never been through it under 10 hours....

Us too. About 12 of us did this twice in 1998 on 300ex bikes. Blast but took 9 hours to finish the 18 miles!!

Good times with good people @russknight can't wait to do it again. Next time we'll get an earlier start!

We rode 92 miles today. What's the longest ride you've ever done in a day?

Definitely the overland from Darby Montana crossing the continental divide to Elk City Idaho and back. I think nearly 500 miles.

I’ve been married 15 years.

i’d say that’s a long ride.

I think the most miles I got in one day in the Donkey was around 85. I did more than that in the [HASHTAG]#t1kx[/HASHTAG] on the first outing.

That sounds awesome! Even the wagon hotel! My wife already said she IS NOT staying in a covered wagon!

the wagon would not be bad in September, but got a little chilly in November. They had real showers, restrooms and food but all power went out at 10 so better have a flash light. It was on a FATCO (Family Adventure Tours) tour with a guide named Frank. We all had radios plus he would drop 3 washers with pink ribbons on a turn (one just before, one mid turn and one at end of turn) so everyone could tell where to turn without having to eat the dust to stay close. His dad ran clean up and had a magnet to pick up the washers. Good system as long as no one spun the washers out when they gassed it on a turn.

Only time I set the trip odometer.... 67 miles on the Goldwater bombing range in Southern Arizona all the way to the border patrol trails along the Mexican border, loved every mile as I traveled with a group of jeep 4x4ers, 2 places where my SxS P1K5s was able to go that the jeeps could not go, scared my wife so bad she elected to walk instead of ride, jeeps could not follow. Been on some all day rides since but do not set trip odometer, having too much fun to care how far!!! Honda mileage phenomenal but wish had bigger fuel tank.

40yrs now... she still does not trust my driving skills... lol
