Default What's the farthest you've ridden in one day?

My family has gone on two trips with me, the first trip was 55 miles. They were uber sore after that haha; but this past weekend(Labor Day) we rode 75 miles and that almost killed them considering it was their second time riding . With that being said, whats the farthest yall have gotten in one day? Just out of curiosity.

I was riding a Sportsman 500 H.O. and I had "quad butt" by the time we were done. Some of it was snowmobile trail so you can get some speed up and cover more distance.

Also, 120 miles. From Jackman, Maine to Pittston Farm and back. Mix of a few miles of technical, mostly decent trails, and some smooth wide open trails where you could see for a couple miles. Got up to 68 on that stretch.

Yeah, we had a couple stretches where it was gravel road so we flew down those...but other than that, it was all in the woods. I had to ride a Honda for a little while, and that was when my "quad butt" really kinda kicked in.
I like hondas for playing around a doing donuts and crazy stuff, but i definitely prefer the Polaris for trail riding and working on!

Average speed on most of the trails we ride is about 10 mph due to how rough they are. In Northern Maine there are logging roads that are used as part of the trail system that you can get some real speed up. The rest, speed will kill you.

All depends on the trails and who you are with. We rode 130 miles in one day at Hatfield McCoy. We start early and take decent breaks for lunch and dinner but ride until the late evening.
