I'll save you guys the trouble of doing the math. That's 60.314159 mph.Made it home today, at 3:45 pm. It was a 790 mile day in exactly 13 hours.
Welcome home, Miles!
Almost...but funny. You stole my Pi joke, eh?
The actual number is: 60.76923076 mph. Or...a simple 60.8 mph
But, more importantly, do any of you know what driving speed it takes to average 60.8 mph over the course of 13 hours, given that there were 7 gas stops, which also included longer bathroom breaks...more than once ???
Historically an experienced Long Distance/Endurance rider can figure in an additional 10 to 15 mph...added into the averaged mph, to compensate for the fuel/bathroom/meal stops. In THIS case, with 7 gas/bathroom stops, it would be an added 15 mph of driving speed.
Ergo, and therefore (those are two friends of mine...Ergo is the older brother of Therefore)....my average driving speed was 75 mph.
Man, I am very glad to be home. One of the first things I told my wife...written in stone...this is my LAST long distance/endurance ride...PERIOD !

Awe come on Miles. You'll be ready for another cross country ride soon. It's just like birthing an extra large odometer. You'll forget all about the pain. Stretch marks may be a different story. 😯
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
