Years ago we had friends with a vacation home in Orlando and would go there for a few days in the winter. I had a bike stored there and my friend an I would ride most days and log 250 - 300 miles in the 10 or so days. When we got back I'd get two responses from others:
From non-riders it was; "WOW, did you do ANYTHING else?"
From riders it was; "Oh, I guess you didn't have much riding time."
