I tend to stick around Frankfort/Benzie/Beulah. Yes, I WILL ride 24 miles round trip if I need knitting needles :-)
I do have a 200k mapped out from Frankfort up into the Leelanau Peninsula and back; one of these years I will actually ride it. We did circumnavigate the Mission Peninsula out of Traverse City a couple of years ago, but it is rare for me to drive somewhere to ride.
