Chris, a Trailer Queen isn't driven at all! Many consider a 30 mile ride on a bike to be not too short and not too long.
While I've been known to ride to the Five Piers ride and back (a little over a hundred miles) I would guess most on this list would not consider that a reasonable ride at all.
Typically the Rose Bowl vintage ride attracts around 10 riders and this is after having the ride in place for five years now. I don't think many of them would be coming if the ride was much longer in length.

I'm trying to attract new riders not scare them off!
