Just curious...
My longest day so far has been about 250 miles. But that is just doing backroads.
I am planning to leave home (Nashua) and travel to Halifax, Nova Scotia next monday. My original plan is to do 300 miles each day and break the trip into 2 days.
If I do this, I spend 4 days just getting there and back, leaving me only 2 days to explore, etc.. If it's feasible to do the whole 600+ miles in one day, my vacation gets a lot more interesting.
I was planning on riding up 95 about halfway through Maine and then hopping onto Rt. 1 to ride along the coast for the northern part of Maine.
I have no idea how fast I can move on Rt. 1, whether it is deserted, or there are towns where I'm going to get stuck at stoplights, etc..
I know on the highways I should be able to cruise at 70mph fine all day, which would make me think I could possibly get there in one day.
Any thoughts from people who have done longer trips?
Mapquest guesses 642 miles and 13 hours... which comes out to about 49mph. I don't think I'm good for 13 hours straight, but I'd hopefully be able to make an average speed better than 49mph. My route is shorter than that too, by about 50 miles.
Thanks,
Ben
