  1. first i give you respect for doing this but its hard to say because average  mph is differ from person to person for ex i ride 25mph every time i ride  so if you rode 10mph for 8 hours then 80 miles a day but if you went 20mph  that would be 160 miles a day just reminder turn your clock back (time changes)


  2. idk lol ask some mathemation guy or watever

  3. Thats about 2200 miles dude!  How fit are you?  how many miles did you ride last year?  How many miles can you ride comfortably in a day?  These are important considerations in working out what average daily mileage for such a trip.  

    For example I'm riding from Lands End in England to John O Groats in Scotland in June, which is about 1000 miles.  I'm taking 12 days, with no rest days. Thats an average of about 80 miles per day,  5-6hrs in the saddle. I,ve been traing for it for 6 months so far.  It's going to be tough but nothing compared to your trip.  Respect!

  4. along *** time but u should do im sure it would be awsome

  5. A fellow rider went from VA to CA in 38 days, and he is the strongest rider (non-racer) that I have experienced.  

    You have to plan your stops, can't just plan on "riding all day".  There has to be a place to camp, eat, ect.  Your metabolism will change doing an event like this (you will need more fuel in you) and once you get west of the Mississippi you will find fewer places to stay, camp and

    eat.  Some careful planning is necessary.  If you are going plan on at least a month.  Set backs such as weather and mechanical break downs will occur, period.

    Plan, plan, plan -- and good luck.

  6. I did a solo ride from Georgia to Upstate NY in 1987. It was about 1100 miles and took 10 days. If you average about 100 miles a day, you could do your ride in about 3 weeks.

    It all depends on how far you want to push yourself each day.  I've done a couple double centuries before, but the next day, I needed a rest day.
