I'm with several others. I've used a lot of adjectives to describe days on my bike, but boring has never been one of them. We've ridden through seveal places that folks who had only driven through in there cars called "boring". After a presentation my wife and I made about a long trip we had recently completed, a guy in the audiance asked, "how did you get through those long tedious miles?" My first thought was; he just doesn't get it. It was all about those miles. If we just wantd to get from point A to B we would have driven, taken a train or plane.
I also think it a personal thing. Background and experience also filter our perception of the world. Motivation may also influence how we perceive our surronndings. Why am I touring in the first place? Do I really like bike touring, or am I just bagging another peak for bragging rights?
If all else fails practice your hawk call imitation on the prairie dogs.
