How many days you ride on a trip out west

Never know, the weather could turn and change plans. I dont go on trips west (live in A.K.) but do make out of town trips to Haines on occasion. The last one turned into severe winds and -15 below during the day. Most everyone on the trip got frostbit of some sort. There were 17 of us and most of us rode everyday, but kind of sucked to say the least.

If you have time, plan on about 6 riding days, maybe take one day off in the middle if your too beat up to go on, or just ride easy. Just remember if you only plan a 3-4 day trip and the weather turns, half or more of the trip could be a waste. Our last was 6 days of brutal weather and crap snow.
 
Take about 7 plus trips out west a year depending on the year and peoples schedules but ride about 3 days. The drive really does wear your quite a bit having to go 1100 miles.
 
Depends how you ride, for us 3 days of hard riding (6-8+) hrs and we are done.. And this includes the young guys...lol...
 
By mid January I can usually ride 7 days in a row pretty easily, but I start riding in December as soon as I can ride from my garage.
