The majority of my riding is from the front door but have no problem with driving big distances for days in the mountains/weekends way with mates etc.
Biggest drive for a weekend away this year was Edinburgh to Llanberis on friday night, Snowdon in morning, drive to Dolgellau, Cadair Idris in afternoon, over to Shrewsbury Sat night to visit some friends, back home Sunday. A lot of driving for a days riding but well worth it.
I dont think I would have been so keen on the sport for such a long time if I had to drive for all of my riding as a lot of people seem to though.
