The S24O. Bringing back an old friend. The S24O is a low
key, high fun value, “micro tour.”
The title, when decoded, tells the tale. It stands for “Sub 24 hour Overnight.”
The idea is to launch between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Then ride to an overnight destination,
and spend the night there. Then
get up and ride back in the morning, finishing up between 9:00 AM and 10:00
AM. So the whole thing takes
around 17 to 18 hours. These work
well on Friday or Saturday evenings, but could
be done on just about any day of the week.
The S24O works
for a trip to just about an kind of destination, but it’s ideal for an
overnight camping trip. The
destination could be a park, a friend’s remote back yard, or even (with
permission) a disused pasture.
Some very good destinations might require a drive to a “remote start.” It’s a very flexible kind of thing.
I’m researching possible destinations now, and will be
happy to accept any that some of you might offer. I’ll keep you posted.
