one day... Ugh... 12-1250 miles... left at like 6am, rode till almost midnight, from the western border of ontario to a few hours east of montreal. Ill have to check it to see what the distance actually is.

I didnt mind the mileage at all. The heat that week was ridiculous though. It was a good trip, wish I had slowed down to enjoy it all.

That is about 2200kms


My best is 580kms/360miles in about 5.5 hours.

In 24 hours, roughly 1150 miles- Meggett SC to Longview TX by way of rtes 10 & 49. In the middle of February.

In one stretch without sleep, roughly 1300 miles, including a 2-hour+ stop to have a tire replaced, another stop to buy a new helmet, and some random driving-around-looking-for-bike-shops. Elk City OK to Meggett SC, roughly 9AM Central time to 5PM Eastern time on the following day. (It's possible i dozed off for a few minutes sitting in a gas station restaurant around 4 AM)
