Some of our local riders have done the same thing. We've been picking out destinations such as waterfalls, state natural areas, etc., and carrying a lunch with us. Last week we rode to Elk River Falls (short hike from the parking lot) in the NW corner of North Carolina. The whole day was just barely over 300 miles. Yesterday we rode over to a COE dam in middle Tennessee. Nothing special, but there were some very pleasant roads between here and there. From my house, it was a skosh over 300 mile. A few weeks ago we rode to another waterfall less than 100 miles from here. but it included a 2 mile hike.
