Average Speed? WTF 14,000 KM in just 28Days?

[u/GumRunner0 → u/Fit-Butterscotch2711]

Pretty easy mate ,avg km done per day was only 530, we stuck to the speed limits most of the time , saves fuel and less work on the bikes

[u/dawtips]

Sick! Wish I did that during my 10 years there. Though I didn't waste it and was off riding lots of other routes.
