300 a day isn't far, at max we're talking 900ks... Distance to and from the cape is about that no? A full coro is 500. 900 stops u lot being unprepared no matter where we're going :-p

not what I meant:

300 is such a short distance it suggests to me that you've got some mud track in mind

ie, 300km by open road isn't even 4 hours, by twisties 5 hours, gravel could be six or more depending on the state of the roads and out sprotbikes wont handle it too well

so assuming a standard ride of 6 hours per day.....
