Actually I have to agree with that these days. If and when (getting to be a newsworthy event now?! ) I can even get out on a bike anymore, the rides are that of quality, not quantity as in years past. Really feel the need to slow it a bit down these days and actually get to see a bit of the beautiful countryside... this instead of just being a speeding bullet from point A to point B in the shortest amount of time (except for stopping for tickets along the way! ).

If I want to check out the scenery I'd do it from my air conditioned car....I never have been a long distance rider kind of person. Frankly I hate driving long distances too now that you mention it
