Fantastic, congrats !!!!

I was off 16 miles Saturday, and thought about riding out to that spot but coin flip type decision and didn't. I had full tank 70 gallons, flat calm seas.......

Let's see.........3,400rpm / 25 mph / 8 gal per hr = 8.75 running time x 25 mph = 218 mile range.

Reduce that by 10% for safety sake is 195 miles.......so safely 1/3rd rule allows up to 60 miles out, 60 back, 60 reserve !!!!!

Only because it was FLAT calm...........as in FLAT
