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.
When I did a quick calculation to estimate how much time it might take us to do the North Sea Route, the calculation went like this:
North Sea Route = 6000 km
Average km/day = 50 km
6000/50 = 120 days.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't ride every single day, so for the average of 50 km/day to work, I would need to ride more than that for 3 or 4 days in order to take a day off. But that still keeps me within the 60-80 km/day range for actual riding distance.
So in your case 1300 miles = 2100 km @ 50 km/h = 42 days.
