Going InZane
John Lane:
Now, Marysville to Watson Lake, Yukon Territory....not so fast!!
Icelander:
Thanks for the feedback! Not sure if I'll be able to start a day earlier. I'll have to see how things transpire.
So you and Gina will be joining us? Thought you were well on your way to a cruise.
gordonv:
I have found, in general, that the time posted on google maps, you times by 1.5 and that is how long it takes with stops.
8 hour driving time, then works out to a 12 hour day. This is also sticking to the posted speed limits.
Icelander:
So, I'm getting the feeling that planning three days to drive 1100 miles is not enough? I figured that if it said 6 hours to get from point A to point B, then planning 10 hours was sufficient.
Is this not the case?

I have always figured my riding time at 50 mph average for most roads and 40 mph for mountainous areas. If it is a large metropolitan area, 30 mph. Across the roads mentioned, for 1100 miles, I would figure 22 hours on the road. That includes all stops for everything except traffic snarls or closed roads. That would make for about three 7 1/2 hour days. I would think that is totally doable. I prefer 500-600 mile days unless I'm going to make 'touristy' stops. YMMV.
