How far do you drive?

We are leaving on vacation on Oct. 2 for PCB. I was wondering, how far is your drive from home to PCB ?

We drive 735 miles. Love every mile down.

But, not the drive back.

I am making this trip a week from Tomorrow (SAT)

My trip is 593 miles, or 10 & 1/2 hours. It will probably take longer considering my wife has a bladder the size of a peanut.

We are coming from Whitesville KY.

My very first trip to PCB will be next Saturday Sept 19. According to Google the mileage should be 556 miles and take approx 10 hours.

I'll be riding my Harley from Hickory, NC. I plan on leaving Friday after work and ride for a while and spend the night...finishing on Saturday. Coming back home the next Saturday I'm going to try and make it back in one day. Probably take longer than 10 hours because I'm not use to riding that long and will probably have to take several breaks.

6.5 miles? Wow! We have several routes to choose from but it usually ends up around 550 miles. Great ride down but every mile back bites!

I know - I'm just bragging a little.

Sorry! So many locals take this area for granted - but I try and appreciate it every day.

I couldn't remember how far it was 'till I read Ridge's response.
We're headed that way in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!
