Touring
From WikiPedalia
"Touring" is a slippery word, and means different things to different people. This can cause miscommunication, so the word should be used with caution.
To non-cyclists, or casual cyclists, "touring" may mean riding 8 miles on a rented cruiser at a beach resort, or a fund-raising "thon" ride, or any type of riding where the principal objective is leisurely enjoyment of scenery and fresh air.
In the sense more generally accepted in cycling circles, however, a "tour" is a multi-day ride, which is not a competition or a timed event.
See also touring bicycle.
