Longest "safest" time on a bike in a day - Page 2

At 52 with a less than active lifestyles I find that I get hyper-vigilant after 400 or so miles. I am sure that there are riders who can do far better than that but that is where I hit the "time to settle in point"

I've done close to 1100 miles a day a few times. It's all in what you get used to. Now if you've never done a 500 mile day, I wouldn't even consider it.

I can do 800 mile days for 2 weeks straight. Done it. It's easy for me. Just have to know when you are going to hit the wall and stop BEFORE that.

An average speed of 500 miles an hour. Not bad at all..

I have never had a need to go further than 400 miles, but the stock seat suck balls, so I am ready to get off after 100 of those miles.
