Didn't plan on doing mine, was 1200 miles from home, wet and tired, and anxious to get back in a hurry. The 24 hrs ride wasn't really that hard physically. Would've been easier if it wasn't raining most of the time and had I gotten some sleep before leaving. As it was I had been up 38hrs by the time I got home.

WHY?????? I take several trips a year and always plan the tirps so I can take detours and stop to enjoy the things there are to see along the way. I generally try to plan for about 300 miles a day and try to stop at a hotel with a hot tub and pool - hopefully near a Red Lobster. Maybe I am a pu$$ie, but to me the trip is not about how many miles you can go in a day, but it's abot how much $hit you see along the way. I just got back yesterday from a short hop around Lake Michigan - 1,200 miles and it took me 7 days. I did some parasailing in Macinaw City Michigan and ate at some great places along the way. I took a 50 mile detour to stop and pet a Black Bear cub. Maybe being retired like I am allows me to take more time and enjoy the ride rather than just trying to rack up the miles????
