[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 183836, member: 1875"] If we're talking getting to Point-B from where I've already been, I like to average 80 miles each hour. That requires some serious concentration (for me) where I'm very alert, scanning constantly and not zoned out in any way. So I try to plan 400 miles before stopping for lunch. Then I'll kick back and run closer to posted limits, explore the terrain, maybe even stop and chat with someone at some interesting places along the way. But miles is never my guideline. I look at every trip in terms of hours. I'll do five(5) hours then eat lunch. Four hours then eat a light dinner. Any more depends on whether it's sucky EST or if the sun shineth on my sorry self and blessed Daylight Savings Time is once again in effect. I'm old and can't do more than 14 hours in the saddle on any given day. The miles that translates to varies mostly by available roads and weather. [/QUOTE]
