So just how much seat time do you get? I was thinking about the "dinner ride" at bash and then the post by "PJ" on ride safety and the amount of time most riders get in the saddle on a daily basis..
Figure out what you ride in a week and then divide by 7, this will allow for the weekend warrior to get in the mix Note that you can make 2 choices.. 1: how often you ride 2: what the "daily" average is
I have seen a lot of guys buy bikes (more cruisers) and then they just sit in the garage..
The idea here is mostly to make you aware of what a 'days' ride is to you and keeping in mind "fatigue" is a genuine issue as the day wears on.. If it makes you pay a bit more attention towards the end of the day then I am glad... Ask any snow skier when and why they get hurt
This became acutely aware to me at "track days" this year.. I did a couple "2 day" events and frankly I could not pull it off.. by half way through day 2, I was tired out.. could still ride but at a reduced level and not with all the concentration the track needs.. A typical track day is 7-8 twenty minute sessions FWIW.. So worn out in 2 hours of hard riding..
