The longest day.

Ok I am a bit slow posting this just didn't think to, anyway was wondering what the longest day ride
Anyone's done ?. I ask this because back about 3 months ago a friend & myself rode from Dargo to Bright
& back to Dargo in one long day. Just short of 300 kms ( 292 ) about 6 - 7 hours actual ride time.
All through the bush, river crossing, very steep rocky climbs and just about everything in between,
we even spent some time on single track for a while, & the joy of fixing 2 flat tyres.
Needless to say my old body slept well that night, my left ear was about the only body part
that didn't ache, but I'd love to do it or something similar again once summer is over.
By the way iam riding a 2012 FE 570.
 
2001 fe650. 765km on a one day d/s rally. Same kind of riding. It was a tough day, actually designed to feel like a day at the Dakar rally. I'm sure the Dakar is tougher. I was about the same ... Everything hurt.

I rode a raid of 740 km from 04:00 AM until 20:00 PM on a DRZ400. Still had energy for 3 hours more in my body, but you cannot do this a couple of days in a row. So next day we did only 350 km.

I'm happy I never tried Dakar as I wouldn't manage more than 2 or 3 days, If I'd ever make it to the finish :mrgreen:
