argh.....   Now I'm wondering/considering if I should go back to a 600. I did it twice before - each time was "fine" so to speak, but I ended up back on an 800.   I found a 600 at a price that is almost too good to be true. I am starting to not like sled shopping.....   too much available these days

3 days is just right then.   You guys will have a blast.  If you have any other questions on it fire away.  Lots of guys on here have ridden it multiple times.

We do not want a 500 k day - at least not for me on those trails anyway: Cochrane etc. - sure, but not on the RAP. I am thinking 200 to 250 miles a day is a decent day for us - if we make good time and have great conditions, we can take some other loops or ride around our night destination and extend if we wish,  but also leaves us a reasonable day should we meet some crap along the way - want a longer lunch- take some photos etc.:   We're looking to have a good fun ride father and son - not looking to break any mileage records.   This will be my son's first "trip" experience. I want him to have fun    

Depending on the weather and temp and also location of the trip, we typically do 350-500kms a day. I believe that trip averaged around  300-350kms/day.

What is a normal day’s mileage for you guys?  I’d say 3 days is about right for most groups.  Have done it in 2 which was too much.  3 days allowed us to do an extended loop starting well south of the park near Cloyne.  That was a reasonable trip.
