What is the longest distance you have driven in a day?

Mine would be 420 miles on a motorcycle.
MsMontgomery · 51-55, F
1,231 miles... on a road trip.. drove 23 hours.

@Beatbox34 we were going to stop in Texas & get a room, but decided to keep going.. had to keep making her wake-up to help keep me awake. Lol
(Won’t do it again)

@MsMontgomery I drove and I fell asleep once. I stopped and consumed sodas with caffeine to keep me awake.

The second time was worse. On the motorcycle I drove like a maniac. It was super cold and I could barely feel my fingers. I thought of stopping to rest on the way but I gathered the courage to get home. By the time I got home, I was frozen and my body heat didn't recover until a few hours later.

@Beatbox34 wow... sounds brutal. Bless your heart

That's quite a ride. I did ride a full day on the bike with a group of friends and was probably close to that but didn't check the mileage. I was just enjoying the ride.

Cold weather riding can be brutal. @Beatbox34
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@rjc36 It indeed is hard. I have driven in the extreme heat as well so I guess I'm used to it.
rjc36 · 56-60, M
I can handle the heat much better than the cold anymore. Even with all the gear on. @Beatbox34

1000 1 time. Plymouth to Glasgow and back with only fuel stops. But 700 plus regular as a airport driver often doing Plymouth to Heathrow 240 ish each way then Plymouth to Bristol Airport on same day 120 ish each way. Exhausting

Around 1300 miles a year ago on our first day of our vacation. We were in a hurry to get there!
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@SW-User That's really a lot. How'd you survive at the end of it.

We left at midnight and drove for about 17 hours only stopping for gas or food. We were exhausted but happy that we could goof around early at our destination the next morning!@Beatbox34
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@SW-User It must have been fun. I intend to try something like that soon.
About 900-ish miles. Eastern North Carolina to central Arkansas
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@Pinkstarburst I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you're over whatever it is now.
@Beatbox34 Over 25 years ago and was a turning point in my life 🙂
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@Pinkstarburst Well I'm glad to hear that things got better for you.

We all face that once in our lives as well.
english · 56-60, M
thats about 6hrs at 70 miles per hour, no bad on a bike, what kind of bike?
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@english It was a 350cc cruiser that I had owned back then. I'm planning to upgrade to a Benelli in the near future.
english · 56-60, M
@Beatbox34 good going for a 350, i ride 900 Kawasaki Vulcan classic,
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@english Munching miles on a 900cc would be a piece of cake.
fallnhope · 36-40, F
About 613 miles going across the state
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@fallnhope I'm sure it would be hard without rests. I had to stop multiple times to feel my fingers when I used to drive in the chilly weather.
fallnhope · 36-40, F
@Beatbox34 I can only imagine. I don't think I could've done it on a motorcycle at all.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@fallnhope I learned two lessons on that trip. One was to never wear less warm clothes while driving at night, second to never travel at night and the third to wear gloves.

By the time I got home I was all shivering and the body heat came back on after 5 AM and when I had reached my home at around 2 AM. It was brutal for me but regardless I was proud of being able to do that even though I had lost the faith to do that because of the cold weather.

Roundabout 500 miles, from Dayton Ohio to DC...

And then back.

@SW-User That's hard and cool at the same time

@Beatbox34 driving through Maryland heading towards Washington was so gorgeous.
I hope that pizza was worth it!
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@EugenieLaBorgia Oh it was and the irony was the pizza was fresh 😂
@Beatbox34 I hope you drove back and threw threw pineapple topping in their faces!
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@EugenieLaBorgia Oh yes I did do that and I picked up a 3 topping pizza to return home with a margarita pizza 😅

600 miles. I don't plan on ever doing that again. It was exhausting.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@VeronicaPrincess It is and after the trip I had a body ache as I was in the same position on the motorcycle for hours.
