I used to drive about 25 miles to my club rides on saturdays plus meet up w/ them on thursday for MTB night lights

General rules for me, if I drive 1 hours there and 1 hour back, the rides has to be equal to travel time or more. I won't sit in the car 2 hours to ride one hour, I'd rather ride 3 hours from my house. Exception to this rule is bike races but I try to car pool when possible
