What is the farthest you have ridden on a single trip and total bike miles to date?

[jhammondcpa]

I have been riding regularly since May 2014 and for increasing longer durations but never further away from home than 10 miles and I now have 350 miles logged. I never wanted to get any farther away than I would like to pedal and this happened on my first 2 mile trip. I also discovered that the bike was a bit to heavy for a conventional rear bike carrier. So until I can safely and comfortably transport my bike back on longer trips, I'll stick to my pedaling limit of 10 miles. Let me know what you think and your mileage data!
Thanks!

The longest/furthest I have been on a single trip from home has been 328 miles on a MAB. I didn't ride it back.

That is more than my total miles and more than my on board fuel supply! My first breakdown was a rear flat tire and just 2 miles from home, but it is a heavy machine to drag for 2 miles! Thanks for info!

I got several flats and my trailer I was pulling broke and I had to ditch/hide it after 255 miles. It took several days to do the trip. I finally made it to my main destination but I had to get a piggieback ride to get there. Hitch a ride with a trucker and throw my MAB in the back of his rig.

That would be my luck! If I get my rides to 25 miles each way I'll be happy! Thanks for the info!

45 miles non-stop, 90 miles one way, 180 miles in a day took 7 1/2 hrs in the saddle.I do this run a few times a year.

I think I have most of the kinks worked out on my bike, but that would be a challenge for me. High traffic areas are hard to avoid, but always looking at the map for longer safe routes. My target is a 50 miler R/T! Thanks for the info!

Where I live, it is 14 miles to the liquor store, so that makes for a good round trip. Wouldn't want to pedal very far with a case of beer strapped on. Maybe a good winter project would be to build one of those Fabian type trailers, then I could carry a jerrycan full of fuel and really take a trip.

If we really get 150 mpg, I could easily take a couple tanks of gas with me which would give me all the miles I could ride. My problem is traffic and figuring out a route to give me the miles. There are some neat trailer configurations, good luck!

58 miles one way 8 hours of seminars and 58 miles back. Makes for a nice 14 hour day. BUT the ride back was so relaxing. Even though I couldn't plan gas stops, 2 16 oz bottles in my backpack plus a full tank, I made it without incident. And did I mention the ride back was so relaxing ? Enjoy the ride and PLAN PLAN PLAN

PS Purple Haze ? yeah been there done that LOL
