@diverdude, I didn't want to hijack @WJo 's thread so I started this one.
 
The road trip could go through Buffalo, with a stop to get our fill of pizza, wings, subs, and alcohol poisoning with the local firemen and cops, aka my friends, and then on to Toronto for the finest in Canadian cuisine. This would consist of back bacon (they don't call it Canadian Bacon in Canada), donuts, and high alcohol Canadian beer (they don't sell it in the US). Lol 4951

@mgw300e:   We would NEED the high calories if we went all the way to Canada!   Hmmm.  I wonder how long it would take.

I'll bet we could make that trip in 12 days.   Seriously.   Then have the bikes UPSed back home. 4951

@DiverDude:
Wouldn't that be about 150 miles per day?

Distance from Houston, TX to Toronto, Canada is, according to Wiki, 1626 miles.  So I'll round up to 1630.  If we "avereged" ...say 16mph    1630/16=101.875    -- So 102hrs of biking.  If we "avereged" 8 hrs a day of riding (food, bike repair, pit stops, etc.)    102/8=12.75   So 13 days? 4951

@mgw300e:  128miles per day.  That's what I calculate.     ....add another day and that would make 2 weeks even.

@diverdude this is making me want to do an epic ride. I used to ride 200-300 miles per week when I worked in a bike shop. Then I went about 10 years without a bike. I got back into it last summer and the farthest I've gone in one shot since then was 80 miles. I promised myself I would get a tattoo when I can break 100 again. This needs to happen soon. I have other reasons that I need to prove this to myself, too, but I need to do it! 4951
