Do you ever take the long route?

[ztied]

How many people calculate the longest route to get somewhere when riding their buell? I just can`t get enough

[thrstrmech]

living in SoCal north of San Diego...getting anywhere was the long route:D an hour to downtown, 45 minutes to ASB, two hours to LA, 30 minutes to Corona, 45-50 minutes to Ontario, an hour to the coast via the Ortega Hwy, an hour plus to Big Bear...

always

I live in the middle of some of the best riding in the country, often add 50-100 miles to my route.

I frequently set my GPS to take the shortest route, not necessarily the fastest. This will sometimes take you over some interesting "roads" - which in the Mountain of NC, can be quite an adventure.

I don't necessarily tale the longest route but I always take the most fun route [smirk]

Not usually.
When I first got a bike... yes, everyday. Never went straight home.

Now, I commute directly and ride on the weekends to wander.
Although, I did have to renew my license one day while off work... so I rode to a small town 2hrs away, taking the scenic route... to "avoid the lines at the busy Houston DMV". Totally worth it. ;)

it all depends. if i plan on a long ride, ill plan it out. otherwise if im on my way home from work i just might take a longer route just for the hell of it.
