Look like short tours for me... not that long tours are normal over here. Time for work and family just take too much and only a short time is left to spare. Precious moments indeed until the kids go to College. This year I am planning 2 main tours, one around the NC coast and one around the Gainesville, Florida area. It'll have to do.

Incidentally, this type of short tour is the main reason I chose my bike to be a Cross-Check. Not as well suited for the touring, but it is nicer handling for the other 48 weeks a year when it's a town bike.
