    Walking? Running? Biking? Driving? Swimming? Hiking?

    I don't know anyone who has done anything of those other than driving and hiking for 10 hours.

    I can go 10 in an hour so I'll say 90 just to be safe.

    Probably 80 or so. Will be biking the Katy Trail (Missouri) with some friends in a few days.

    I'd say somewhere between 120 and 150 if it isn't in to a headwind the entire time

    Down hill the entire time I'd say 200, uphill I quit haha. Realistically maybe 100 if the terrain is decent. I have a cyclocross bike though so I'm sure I could go much further with an actual road bike.

    If it's a relatively flat route and low wind I'm going to have to say around 165. That would include taking 3 breaks.

    I've never tried to bike that long. I guess it depends on whether it's road biking or mountain biking. I did a long stretch in the mountains a while back that took a few hours. I think that was around 22 miles, but it was a rough road. I suppose you could extrapolate that out to be about 80 miles on a mountain trail if I continued on at the same pace. I don't think that would happen. I wouldn't WANT to mountain bike for 10 hours straight and I'm pretty sure I'd burn out long before that. If you break the 10 hours up into a couple of days I could do it. I have no idea how far I would go on a regular road bike. I don't ride them.

    Just a few. I biked for half an hour & then I fell over & died from oxygen deprivation. Free bike when you find my body. Tell everyone I died trying to rescue a kitty or something.

    Too many variables....
    Hot or cold weather?
    With or without music?
    Level ground or inclines?
    Against wind or with?
    Food and water prior or without?
    What kind of bike? I've been on bikes that fought me the whole way or bikes that cut through it like butter even in the wind and inclines.

    Completely depends on the terrain.
    Here in the Netherlands possibly 180km. In the alps could be as low as 15km BUT with 3km upward

    It took me 8 hours to do my first century ride on a crushed gravel trail riding a mountain bike. Road bike, a little faster speed but a lot of variables, terrain, weather etc. Should be able to get 100 miles for sure, hard core closer to 200.

    Work out your comfortable speed in mph/kmh and multiply it by 10. Remember you will get extremely tired and will have to eat, drink, pee along the way. If you add in hills then all bets are off! Are you doing an endurance event?
