I took a long trip and the first day I did 580 in 11 hours. That was too much. I recalculated everything and broke the rest of the trip in to about 300 (6-7 hours) rides which was much more bearable. In ideal weather conditions you could do 10 hours a day in the saddlefor multiple days, but add some cross wind, cold air and rain it will take a lot out of you. I really like the 300 daily goal, because you can get on the road at 7 AM and take 10 hours to cover it and really spend time enjoying the sites along the way without time pressure. You will finish the ride in late afternoon and have time to enjoy where ever it is you stopped for the night.
