You said you like to hit the road between 10 and 11 - I like to hit the road at daybreak may ride a hundred miles or so before stopping to eat breakfast.

Then i get breakfast and take off about 10-11am then ride for about 6-8hrs getting back to the hotel about 4-6pm. Not trying to clock the most miles, I'm just cruising back roads, looking at the scenery. If I see something cool looking I pull over and enjoy. Get back to the hotel go grab some take out and eat at the hotel. Bourbon on the rocks, relax, shower, pass out. Rinse repeat. The last day there i get 1-3 (1)hr massages at different places because after 4 days of riding 6-8hrs a day a few back/feet massages feel GREAT! But i can see trying to put in an hour before breakfast

Thanks for the info as no one can think of everything, there's always a better way to do things, and the only person that can't learn is the person that thinks he knows it all. Thanks I will think about that kind of schedule when i try a A to B to C trip. I have 7 more years to retire then i want to ride from one side of the US to the other a few times taking a few different routes. With unlimited time off work I would take as much time as i want. Thanks again. I might try a Loop A to B to C to home trip one day to try it out. But i rather not just try to log hours and miles on my baby i rather enjoy an area and see more stuff than interstate but to each his own. Ride safe RoadKill
I've ridden solo before GPS and cell phones, been lost a few times and out of gas a few times. However, I'm still here and still riding. When I was unfortunate to have to ride with someone it was either waiting on them to show up or waiting on the to finish a smoke or just waiting in general.I'll go my own way and meet later. My speed, my safety.
