the above quote is from the group's now-deceased founder.

DO folks ride 300/day?

Have a look at the records on the UMCA website for 12 and 24 hour events ...

You'll notice that the shortest distance on the records list for a 24-hour event is 427 miles. 300 miles doesn't rate. In fact, if you scroll down, some of the 12 hour records come close to 300 miles.
