Longest day trip?

A few 300 miles days, longest was 341 miles. From my house near Eveleth MN, out Big falls, up to International Falls, then back home. 8 am to 11pm with quite a bit of trail breaking as we took off just after a 12" storm. 150-200 miles is an "average" day for me.
 

Last Saturday trip to Lake Erie. Crossing an overpass of the 401 highway. It isn't often conditions allow for this. One fellow only made it about 10 miles from home and he was out.

Conditions have been fantastic this year in the south. I’ve always wanted to try out the trails down in the dirty south LOL. Might have to wait another 5-10yrs now haha!
 
I started in markdale this morning. Left the truck at 9am and got back at 5pm. Did just over 400kms on amazing trails. That time of year!

went over to singhampton, collingwood, Owen sound, sauble, port Elgin, chepstow, mildmay, through Durham which was absolutely perfect and then back to markdale.

Going that way tomorrow.
 
Kapuskasing to New Liskeard 550kms at -35c only stopped for gas. Did same trip in 1992 with Vmax 4 it was also -35. My buddy was following in snow dust and froze his d..., true story.
 
Last time I rode in -35 I had my 2000 srx 700 windchill was -45. Family day weekend in emsdale on baylake. My brother and I didn’t last 2hrs. I won’t ride in that crap anymore unless I get caught in it.
Actually, my hand warmers quit working....
 
What’s the longest day trip you guys have done?
Miles or kms, however you put it. When did you start and when did you finish? My buddies and I usually ride long days over 400kms. Our longest day was 480kms, but were thinking we’d like to do 600kms. Anyone else like putting in long days?
My long days are 320 klms. sledding , with 5 hours of trailering there and back .
Left at 8am , and back home at 8pm !
 
Did a 720 km ride 2 years ago with my son, left Kipawa Quebec at 7 am and went to Belleterre for gas and then on to Reserve La Verendrye for lunch/gas which is halfway, when the owner asked where I came from I told here Kipawa and when she asked where I was going I told her Kipawa and she was a little confused so I mentioned it was one big loop with no doubling back on any trails. We left after Lunch and headed to Rapides des Joachims for gas and then arrived at home at 9:15. my son quit sledding for the season after that.
