Longest ride you've ever ridden?

[\m/]

Longest ride so far was Raglan-New Plymouth/Stratford-Taumaranui-Otorohanga (about 600km). Came close to matching it today at 550km Otorohanga-Putaruru-Paeroa-Whangamata-Thames-Paeroa-Morrinsville-Raglan.

Fine I'll share my story then.

I'd never done long rides over 600kms+ in a single day but went on a tour down to Wellington and back from Auckland on a wee FXR150. Good times. Thread here

I'd already done an 11 hour day and at 6pm I got a job going to Preston (north of Manchester). Got back at 3 in the morning. Was back on the bike 4 hours later for the next 12 hour day's work. Managed to last till about midday before I realised I'd become a liability to myself.

Calais off the cross channel ferry - Lake Geneva (Lusanne) Switzerland 6 bikes left calais - one hit a series of central lane markers just south of Riems and we had to wait for a AA rescue - we made hotel at 9.30pm after starting at 7.30am.
1600/1700kms with detours.... map reading errors and some twisty excursions.............. some of the speeds were very naughty.
Oh good times

Posted earlier but just remembered I did Oamaru to Balclutha two up on an XL175 once. Not a hell of a long trip in terms of km but my arse felt like it had circumnavigated the world after that one.

Longest ride in one hit would be auckland to gore with only 3 hr rest on the ferry. 23 hrs including ferry.

UK itself, the obligatory and very tiring Lands end to John O groats 874 miles or 1406km's. That is a bloody hard ride beleive me.
Other wise and a lot easier due to European Motorways and Autobahns, 'a 5 day weekend' return trip London/Madrid 1700km's each way.

...Lyttelton to South Westland on a 1968 Honda SS90 two up, way back when you didnt need brains, only skellerup sneakers a paisley shirt and a wrangler jacket...I remember my helmet being way oversize and bouncing up and down over my eyes and having a bruised head, arse and frozen gloveless fingers...that was only at this side of Porters Pass...got to where our mate was supposed to be and he had left a couple of days earlier...came straight back...very clever 16 year olds....things have not improved a lot since then...

Did a 200mile (320km) round trip on my Yamaha FSIE 50cc when i was 16. Was bored one sunday so i thought i would go to Skegness for the day from Norwich. Those of you who know this route thru the Fenlands of UK will know it is much like the canterbury plains (flat and no windbreaks) it was lovely day in the morning.....on the way back it was a fierce headwind and then it was horizontal rain. (down to almost walking pace at times) The longest day......... but fondly remembered
