I'm in the same rut. I've only gone on one ride that wasn't work or errand related lately! I get about 13 miles a day commuting. Definitely need to get out, but can't right now.

Had to go to Eureka Springs for work, about 110 miles around the lake.
Strange day of riding, new bike speedometer showed a 71.3 mpg average when I left, and 72.1 mpg average when I got home! That’s different!

Excellent riding areas, anywhere around there. I commute back and forth between Texas and Illinois several times per year, Eureka Springs and all of NW Arkansas and southern Missouri are on path just about every time.Had to go to Eureka Springs for work, about 110 miles around the lake.

I got in another moto commute today as well, but I'm obviously in the wrong line of work. I only got suburban streets and am now stuck in an office!

Just groovin’ around Roger’s today, coffee with a client and then a short meeting at the edge of town.
At almost 500 miles, it’s been rainy lately!

I took the scooter out for a run today. Probably about 50 miles. It's got 383 miles on it now!

My wife and I are on a 4 day ride down in the hill country. All paved roads. Temps have been perfect. We've had some strong winds and some rain but so far so good. Head home tomorrow.

Another 100 miles or so to the Title company, gravel roads, muddy roads, bank, unlock the gate and hand over the keys for another house sold. Big Sugar Creek was too high at Catalpa, had to go ‘round.
Yep, I definitely need to get into your line and location of work. I got another 6.5 miles of commute to the office in steamy Houston humidity.

Kind of a bum day for finding lots, one I looked was near a methhouse and another was down a very poorly maintained muddy road. But, I did get to ride there and back. At least 10 water crossings today. Scenic overlook is north of Berryville.
Thankful for every day. 155 miles today, NE of Eureka Springs.

Thought I'd just float in today.
My front pond and front pasture are now one and the same. Cypress has had over 5 inches of rain in 36 hours ... we even had hail around 4 this morning.
Guess riding will have to wait for another day.

Saw a guy riding in the rain this morning. Really nice bike too, with what looks like custom paint job and lots of chrome. I admire his persistence, but that's a hard no for me.

Another nice day after storms overnight. I’m sorry y’all are getting the (feast) of rain all at once! We’ve got potential flooding coming next couple of day….we’ll see what happens!
So about 110 easy miles today, getting checks to the bank and moving papers at the office. Closing in on a 1000 miles on the 300.
I bet that old barn has seen a thing or three!

Old barns like that one are a relic of times long gone. Glad it's still standing.
Gorgeous @Gravel Guy! I'll be up there in a couple weeks for the Rally at the Rock the Razorback Riders are putting on. I'm really looking forward to it. You're not going to be there by chance, are you?

5.5.24 ….Four days of Great riding …Hillsboro down to Burnet and back up to Goldthwaite then hard east ….
Tried to stay on gravel dirt roads the whole way crisscrossing the map..
..676 miles 70 hours in the saddle about 30 water crossings was able to get thru all but five …..
Rained hard every night so little extra time to dry camp out..
Until….
Sat night..
Camp set up on the banks of the Colorado…but bugged out to high ground before dark ..
Seeing this wave of storm was going to bring it this time…
Good thing …10” rain by 2 am closed down everything ..main highways and back roads …
Some had 8 to 10 foot of flooding over the roadways looks like lots of damage ..hoping everyone safe and high and dry..
Took 4 try’s to find an open road back to Waco …
Good food, dirty bike, miles of good times…
I’d say normal ADVenture for me ….
