The average every day cyclist may be able to do it in 2 days with the proper equipment but certainly no mountain or commuter bikes.
I should just point out I have done a best of 290 miles in one 24-hour day, and I am not a professional on a super lightweight road bike. Others here, on this forum, have done 300km rides in the 20-hours alloted maximum time.
