The real rason I am asking is a deadline to get somewhere, wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to enjoy to ride, but also to make the deadline. I am going to do a fund raiser for my HS and want to arrive "home" the 1st day of our 30th class reunion weekend. Route from Dallas, tx to Homer MI is about 1300 miles, and I hope to do at least some offroad, or at least rails to trails like the Katie in Mo.
