1800 GPS miles in 7.5 days

My wife and I just got back from vacation at our place in northern Maine. Between riding in Maine and Canada we managed to log just over 1800 miles. Weather was great, trails were great but getting thinner and thinner as the week went by. Could use more snow instead of this warm up, I'm glad we went last week and not this one.
Found our first Moose antler on a freshly groomed trail early one morning. He had just dropped it as indicated by the fresh blood in it. Saw other bulls still holding their racks.
Best day was 330 miles with the lowest mile day being the day after with only 100 and change with many averaging 225 to 275 miles.
For you doubters it isn't hard to do those miles when you hit the trails by 7am and ride till 5 or 6 pm and many of the trails allow speeds to be held at 60-80 mph for long stretches.
